The Belgian champion has won the 24 hours of Le Mans six times: “As a pilot every morning I said: nobody can beat me. Never be afraid but I am alive only because I was lucky. And at 80 I was healed from my own ego”
J Acky Ickx as a child dreamed of being a gardener. The engines, on the other hand, were the passion, and the work, of dad Jacques. “Then something changed, I understood that I could be good at the guide” and there, in the search for excellence, the love for Motorsport was born for the Belgian. A journey that has gone through the history of motorism, from the sixties to the end of the twentieth century, and each possible category, from the trial to Formula 1, from the rally to the Endurance. Winning, losing, surviving at the same time that many did not give the same occasion.
