Did You Know?


Jacky Ickx was a huge spokesperson for Motorsports safety and very outspoken about his feelings on the dangers of the Le Mans start. As racing officials were not too keen on changing rules in the name of safety, Jacky decided to stage a protest of the Le Mans start. As the green flag dropped and the drivers ran to their cars, Jacky walked slowly and precisely to his car (see the man walking). As other drivers sped off, maybe buckled in, maybe not, Jacky took his time and secured himself into his Ford GT40 before starting the race.
