Head in the stars
The gloved hand activates the starter. Instaneously, the V10 answers the pilot’s request. Its deaf rumbling reverberates in my back and invades the overheated cockpit.
With this simple gesture Jacky Ickx had just given life to a very old dream: to sit beside him in a racing car. What impassioned person did not have this same crazy desire? |

Jacky Ickx pays homage to the Restaurant of Hunaudières
On 26th October 2006 a friendly meeting was held in the office of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest in the 24 Hours of Le Mans circuit. This event was Jacky Ickx'idea who, for many, keeps being "Monsieur Le Mans" - Bruno Vandestick, the ACO speaker, mentioned that Tom Kristensen still considered the Belgian pilot as such - as well as the ACO and its President, Jean-Claude Plassart, who also attended this meeting. |

The Master of the Game
Le Mans, June 14th 1969. The start of the 37th endurance race of the 24 hours of Le Mans will exceptionally be given at 14:00 because of presidential elections. The drivers are in front of their cars, they hate this start procedure, dating from another time. Indeed the reason why this Le Mans type start was decided in 1925 doesn’t convince today. |

Passion... 24 Hours of Le Mans

A day with Jacky Ickx
On October 26th, 2005, I received an e-mail of my friend Marc Devillers saying that Jacky Ickx chairs the RACB Renault Academy. Not knowing this fact, I asked him to send a copy of the press article and some minutes later, I was reading that Jacky will be in Zolder the next day. After confirmation read on the RACB's website, it was decided, tomorrow I will go to Zolder. |

The outcome of a dream with Château Lastour
We are August 27th, 2005, it is 6 o'clock in the morning. I begin early for a big workday because I am late for my delays of documents delivery. At about the 9 am, I switch on the computer and, as usual, first reflex, I glance on Jacky Ickx's site because Julien has always something to tell. |
