Like many successful car racers, Justin Bell nurtured and
developed his passion for speed and competitive racing at an
early age. With natural talent and the encouragement of his
father Derek Bell, a five-time Le Mans 24 hours winner, he
started out fast and got faster, and soon began carving his own
place in history. Since beginning his career in 1988, Justin has
achieved many significant racing accomplishments, including the
1997 FIA GT2 Championship, winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans GT2
class in 1998 and second-place finishes in Le Mans and Daytona,
and a pair of SCCA Trans-Am wins.
Along the way he raced for major car manufacturers including
Saab, Peugeot, Porsche, BMW, Dodge and General Motors. For Dodge
Viper, he won the 1997 FIA GT2 world championship and the GT2
class at Le Mans in 1998. In 2000 Justin signed with General
Motors as a driver for the factory Corvette Racing team,
finishing second in the Daytona 24 Hours, the 24 Hours of Le Mans
and Petit Le Mans. Justin co-founded Torque Media Group in 2018
with Tommy Kendall and Jason Jacobson. Breaking with the
traditional TV model the trio created The Torque Show as a
branded Livestream Show to support Michelin in the IMSA Series.
Evolving into a vibrant chat show style format, JB and TK
interview the highest profile people in the Sportscar world,
attracting a huge audience on their Facebook Live channel.
Another series integrated into The Torque Show is 'The Love of
Cars' presented by Hagerty, which has seen guests such as Jay
Leno, Patrick Dempsey and Danny Trejo.
Drawing on their vast experience in Live sports broadcasting, and
led by the producing talents of Jason Jacobson, the company
branched out into live event hosting with the Audrain Newport
Concours and Motorweek and the incredibly prestigious honor of
hosting and producing the livestream for the Pebble beach
Concours d'Elegance in 2021.
After all this, Justin still felt like something was still
missing. The medium to express himself and the world as he saw
it. But when he saw a Hasselblad medium format camera he knew he
had found it!
Learning the craft was fun and frustrating and led him to the
world of Leica cameras, where he really found his footing. He
likes to focus on portraits of the men and women who inspire him
in the world of speed. He is not a technical photographer
(although he is learning all the time) but he thinks because of
his skills as an interviewer, people open up to him and he simply
transition that trust and access into the images you see on his
Life. with Legends website.
Life.With Legends is an intimate collection of his conversations
with fascinating people that arguably are legends in the world of
racing, cars and speed. These portraits are all taken at the time
of the recordings and are unique to the shared moments between
artist and subject.

John is a life long car guy. All of his favorite toys had wheels.
Growing up on the north side of Chicago, two of his favorite
early memories includes drives down Lake Shore Dr. in an MGA with
the top down, (which really started his love of British Sports
Cars) and when the orange pedal car was brought downstairs for a
sidewalk drive. That was officially his first car. His second was
a fairly ratty, but still loved red 1960 TR3. There were a
variety of cars in the early days, foreign and domestic. A 1969
Road Runner, a 1973 Grand Am with a four speed, and a 1972 MGB
were among a few early cars. Later came a long string of
practical and sporty BMW 3 and 5 Series cars. Somewhere in the
late 80 and early nineties was a 944 Turbo.
In 1996 John bought a 1963 Austin Healey BJ7 3000. He met his
long-time friend Mark Baker when Sport and Specialty did some
much-needed maintenance on the car. Re-bitten by the British Car
bug, and deciding it was “now or never” John found a 1960 Bugeye
race car and brought it back to racing duty. Next, he joined
North Suburban Sports Car Club and went to his first driving
school in 1998, and received his Novice Competition License. He
has held a competition and instructors license since 1998. He
also holds a Chief and Operating Steward’s license from
Midwestern Council and serves as the Vintage / Historic Racing
Chair and Vintage Motorsport Council delegate. He campaigns his
lovely yellow 1969 Alfa Romeo GTV and BMW 2002 with MCSCC and the
Vintage Sports Car Drivers Association (VSCDA) in general vintage
races and the B Sedan Trans Am series. He also runs his track and
street ready1983 Caterham Super Seven when the occasion arises.
After a long and successful career in sales and marketing and
general management, John knew it was time to do something he
truly loved. After the passing of his friend Mark, the business
that he knew so well through his friendship with Mark was in
danger of shutting down. The business had a talented and
dedicated crew and good business basics in place, so after
helping the family operate the business in 2012, he began
discussing some purchase options to keep the business alive and
growing. At the end of 2012, he purchased the business and hasn’t
looked back. He couldn’t be happier, he works with a
talented crew, gets to go racing when he can, and has
successfully turned his passion into his livelihood! What could
be better?
