Derek Bell hints at Group C return ahead of Top Gear Live appearance

A familiar figure at Goodwood, Derek Bell is about to make his debut at an altogether less genteel motoring event this week: Top Gear Live at London's Excel. But fear not, Britain's greatest Le Mans driver isn't about to start playing car football with Jeremy Clarkson; instead he will be one of the star attractions at a Gala event on the opening night of the show to mark the 40th anniversary of the Steve McQueen movie, Le Mans.

As well as Bell, guests will be joined by Chad McQueen, son of the late Steve, and David Piper, as they reminisce on the making of a film that realised McQueen's dream: to create the best, most realistic film about motorsport ever.
