Francorchamps Formule Ickx

Product description

Jacky Ickx is a motor sport icon, one of the greatest racing drivers from Belgium and one of the great all-rounders. He has achieved more than 100 victories in the most diverse disciplines. This comprehensive work pays tribute to the champion’s achievements and shows a wealth of wonderful photos. Experience the legendary rides on the home circuit in Spa-Francorchamps, emotions, triumphs and defeats, in short: the winding road through a turbulent racing life. Alain van den Abeele, former RTB (without F) sports journalist, remembers as a contemporary witness and delivers a lot of anecdotes. Benoît Deliège provides 36 previously unpublished illustrations to accompany the more than 330 exceptional photos. They trace the 30 races (with 10 victories and 5 podiums) of the Belgian champion on the legendary race track. They describe the challenges of each race, introduce the opponents on the track, the racing cars and last but not least the historic Ardennes circuit.
