Ickx. A name that catches the eye. Add the first name Jacky and you will have one of the greatest champions of motorsport, the Belgian with a hundred victories, all disciplines combined. This work, abundant with period photographs, tells his tumultuous history at Spa-Francorchamps, his favorite circuit. Emotions, joys, bitterness, the labyrinth of a career spanning more than thirty years is examined in detail through pages full of memories sometimes buried in memories. Richly illustrated with 330 exceptional photos and 36 unpublished illustrations by Benoît Deliège, this book written by Alain van den Abeele, long-time friend of Jacky Ickx and former sports journalist for RTB (without F!), retraces the 30 participations (including 10 victories and 5 podiums) of the Belgian champion on the legendary Francorchamps circuit. He describes the challenges of each race, his direct opponents on the track, the genesis of certain cars and the legend of the Ardennes circuit. Certainly, a historical collectible work hailed upon its release by the press.
