Jacques Bernard Edmon Martin Henri "Jacky"Ickx (French pronunciation:[ʒakiiks]; born 1 January 1945) is a Belgian formerracing driver, who competed inFormula One from1966 to1979. Ickx twice finished runner-up in theFormula One World Drivers' Championship in1969 and1970, and won eightGrands Prix across 14 seasons. Inendurance racing, Ickx won twoWorld Endurance Championships withPorsche and is asix-time winner of the24 Hours of Le Mans, as well as a two-time winner of the12 Hours of Sebring. Inrallying, Ickx won theParis–Dakar Rally in1983 withMercedes.
Born and raised inBrussels, Ickx started his career inmotorcycle road racing andtrials, winning several national and continental titles in the latter discipline. Progressing totouring car racing in the mid-1960s, Ickx won multiple titles before winning the24 Hours of Spa in 1966. Attracting the attention ofKen Tyrrell, he entered the1966 German Grand Prix in aMatraFormula Two car, retiring after a first-lap collision withJohn Taylor, who later died of his injuries. Ickx returned to the race thefollowing year, qualifying third in his Formula Two machinery and earning a Formula One drive withCooper from theItalian Grand Prix onwards, where he finished sixth. Ickx was signed byFerrari in1968, taking his maiden victory inFrance, amongst several podiums, as he finished fourth in the standings.
Moving toBrabham in1969, he took multiple wins as he finished runner-up toJackie Stewart. He returned to Ferrari thenext year, again finishing runner-up toJochen Rindt as he took wins inAustria,Canada andMexico. Ickx took further wins for Ferrari at theDutch Grand Prix in1971 and theGerman Grand Prix in1972, but left the team halfway through the1973 season over the performance of theFerrari 312B3. After one-off appearances forMcLaren andWilliams, Ickx joinedLotus in1974, but left after less than two seasons with the team. He returned to the sport withWolf–Williams in1976, swapping seats withChris Amon atEnsign from theDutch Grand Prix onwards. After intermittent appearances for Ensign over the next three seasons, Ickx joinedLigier in1979, replacing an injuredPatrick Depailler at the final eight Grands Prix of the season. Struggling to adapt to theground effect era, Ickx retired from Formula One at the conclusion of the 1979 season with eight race wins, 13 pole positions, 14 fastest laps and 25 podiums.
Outside of Formula One, Ickx won the24 Hours of Le Mans six times, a record which stood until2005. He also won the12 Hours of Sebring in 1969 and 1972, and the24 Hours of Daytona in 1972 alongsideMario Andretti,[b] making him the fifth driver to complete theTriple Crown of endurance racing. Ickx won twoWorld Endurance Championships in1982 and1983 withPorsche. He retired fromendurance racing in1985, following his involvement inthe death ofStefan Bellof. Between1981 and2000, Ickx entered 14 editions of theDakar Rally, winning in1983. Ickx was inducted into theInternational Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2002.
Jacques Bernard Edmon Martin Henri Ickx was born on 1 January 1945 inBrussels,[3] Ickx was introduced to motorsports when he was taken by his father, motoring journalist Jacques Ickx, to races which he covered. Despite this family background, Ickx had limited interest in the sport until his father bought him a 50 ccZündapp motorcycle.
He began to compete inroad racing andmotorcycle trials. He won the 50 cc class at the 1962Mettet Grand Prix road race, then demonstrated impressive talent when he defeated future motocross world championRoger De Coster in the 1963 Belgian 50 cc trials national championship.[4][5] Soon afterwards, Ickx won 8 of 13 races at the first season and the European 50 cc trials title.
He took another two titles before he moved to racing aLotus Cortina intouring car racing, taking his national saloon car championship in 1965, as well as winning theSpa 24 Hours race in 1966 driving aBMW 2000TI. He also competed insports car races where he had already significant experience from taking part in the 1000 km races at theNürburgring.
Ickx entered his first Grand Prix at theNürburgring in 1966, driving aMatraMS5-Cosworth one-litreFormula Two (F2) car, entered byKen Tyrrell.[6] However, a first lap collision withJohn Taylor at Flugplatz caused both cars to retire[7] and Taylor later died as a result of burns received in the accident, after his car caught fire. In 1967, Ickx again drove at the Nurburgring, with an F2Matra MS7-Cosworth 1.6-litre, also entered by Tyrrell.[6] Despite the greater power of the Formula One cars, only two drivers qualified with a faster time than Ickx:Denny Hulme andJim Clark. As Ickx was racing in the separate F2 class, he started the race behind all of the Formula One cars, but within four laps of the 28 km circuit he was up to fifth place, having overtaken 12 Formula One cars. He was forced to retire after 12 laps with a broken front suspension, but set the fastest lap of the F2 runners.[6]
AtMonza in 1967, he made his Formula One debut in aCooperT81B-Maserati, finishing sixth, despite suffering a puncture on the last lap. He also drove for Cooper in theUnited States Grand Prix atWatkins Glen but retired on lap 45 with overheating.[6]
In 1968 Ickx drove in Formula 1 forFerrari. He retired from his first two races, but at his home race atSpa-Francorchamps he started from the front row and finished third. In theFrench Grand Prix atRouen he took his first win, in heavy rain. Ickx also finished third atBrands Hatch and fourth at theNürburgring after driving almost the entire race in heavy rain without his helmet visor. AtMonza he finished the race in third position. InCanada he crashed and broke his left leg during practice, thus did not start and also missed the subsequentUnited States Grand Prix.[6] He returned in time for the final race of the season inMexico. Ickx scored 27 points in the1968 Formula One season finishing in fourth place behindGraham Hill,Jackie Stewart and Hulme.
In1969, Ickx moved toBrabham, partly at the instigation of theJohn Wyer team for whom he'd had considerable success in sports cars. Wyer's main sponsor,Gulf Oil were keen to ensure that they retained his services rather than possibly lose him toFerrari's sports car team.[6] His first results at Brabham were poor, but afterJack Brabham broke his foot in a testing accident, Ickx's results improved:Alan Henry suggests that Ickx performed better with the whole team focussed on him.[8] Ickx finished third inFrance, second inGreat Britain and won inCanada and inGermany at the Nürburgring, where he also took pole position and fastest lap,[9] in the last Formula One race there before 'The Ring' was made less bumpy and dangerous. In the1969 Mexican Grand Prix Ickx finished second and ended the year as runner-up in the drivers' world championship, behind Stewart. He returned to the Ferrari team for the 1970 season, a move he had been considering since the Italian Grand Prix.[10]

As in 1969, Ickx had a disappointing start to the1970 season. On the first lap of theSpanish Grand Prix he collided with theBRM ofJackie Oliver and his car caught fire.[9] It took at least 20 seconds for him to leave the burning car and he was hospitalized with severe burns. After 17 days he was back in his car at theMonaco Grand Prix, where he ran fifth before retiring with a driveshaft failure.[9] The car started to improve and at theGerman Grand Prix (held atHockenheim as his favourite Nürburgring was boycotted for safety reasons) he fought withJochen Rindt for the win, but finished a close second. At theAustrian Grand Prix it was Ickx that took the win. AtMonza, Rindt died in an accident during qualifying. Ickx was the only driver with a chance to take the championship from Rindt who had already won five of nine races in that season, with four more to go. Monza saw a win by Ferrari teammateClay Regazzoni while Ickx's car broke down. The Belgian took the win atCanada and if he could win at the remaining two events, he would overtake Rindt and win the championship. However, in theUS Grand Prix atWatkins Glen he only finished fourth, with Rindt's replacementEmerson Fittipaldi scoring his first career win, and thus was mathematically eliminated from the championship chase. Despite winning the last race inMexico, Ickx could not beat Rindt's points total. Ickx later stated in a 2011 article in the British magazineMotor Sport that he was glad he did not win the 1970 World Championship. He did not want to win against a man who could not defend his chances, referring to the deceased Rindt.[11]
In1971, Ickx and Ferrari started as favourites, but the championship went toJackie Stewart with the newTyrrell. Ferrari traditionally started the season with its full attention on the sports car championship rather than Formula One, a fact that had already causedJohn Surtees to leave in the middle of the 1966 season.[citation needed] Ickx won atZandvoort in the rain withFirestone wet tyres, while Stewart had no chance with hisGoodyear rubber. After that, he had a lot of retirements, while Stewart took one win after the other, despite Ickx giving him a good challenge at theNürburgring once again, where both drivers shared victories from 1968 to 1973. That long and very challenging track was the favourite of Ickx, while Stewart had called it the 'Green Hell' as well as being a driving force behind the driver boycott of 1970 that urged the Germans to rework the layout of the track, which had been built in 1927. Stewart said the only thing that had changed since then were the trees growing bigger. As requested, those near the track were cut and replaced with a small run-off area, and armco. So, the Scot and the Belgian not only fought on the track, but also off the track. Stewart was constantly fighting for more safety in Formula One, while Ickx thought by doing that the challenge was taken out of the sport.
In 1972, Ickx stayed at Ferrari and finished second inSpain andMonaco. After that the Ferrari only got noticed for its retirements. Yet, once again it was theNürburgring where Ickx was eager to show it was his track, giving his great rival Stewart no chance at all. As for Stewart one year later, and other champions such asJuan Manuel Fangio in 1957, it turned out that the last Formula One win for Ickx came at Nürburgring, where superior driving skill could beat superior machinery.
In 1973, theFerrari 312B3 was no longer competitive, and Ickx only managed one fourth place at the opening Grand Prix of the season. While being successful with their sports cars, which were driven to several wins by Ickx himself, the Formula One programme of the Italians was outclassed, and they even had to skip some races, notably at the Nürburgring. This was not acceptable to Ickx, who left the team halfway through the season (after the1973 British Grand Prix, where he finished eighth).[9] Instead, he competed in theGerman Grand Prix at the Nürburgring in aMcLaren, and scored a sterling third place behind the all-conqueringTyrrells of Stewart andFrançois Cevert. Ickx returned to Ferrari for theItalian Grand Prix atMonza again finishing eighth but drove forWilliams in the1973 United States Grand Prix atWatkins Glen finishing seventh.[9]
When Ickx signed withTeam Lotus in 1974, a difficult period awaited. Lotus had problems replacing the successful but ageingLotus 72 (which debuted in 1970) with the troublesomeLotus 76 and, during the opening races of the championship, Ickx only managed a solitary third place inBrazil. Ickx demonstrated that he was still the Rain Master when he won the non-championshipRace of Champions at Brands Hatch after having passedNiki Lauda on the outside at Paddock Bend. After the Brazilian Grand Prix his season deteriorated, the Lotus-Ford retiring in five consecutive races until an eleventh-place finish atZandvoort.[9] However, in mid season Ickx recovered some form, rising through the field in theBritish Grand Prix to finish a strong third. Even better was his drive in the German Grand Prix. For most of the race Ickx dueled for fourth place with his teammateRonnie Peterson who was using a Lotus 76, which had been grafted to the back end of a Lotus 72,Mike Hailwood in aMcLaren M23 andJochen Mass in aSurtees running on his home circuit on Firestone tyres well suited to the circuit. It was a classic duel on the daunting circuit, which still lacked armco around half the track in 1974. Two laps from the end Hailwood crashed badly ending his World Championship career.[citation needed] On the last two laps Ickx was getting close to third placeCarlos Reutemann, but on the final lap, Ronnie Peterson slipstreamed past to claim 4th. In Austria, Ickx, this time in the Lotus 76, moved up the field but went off while attempting to takeDepailler for second. In the last races of the year, tyre issues with Goodyears unsuitable for the Lotus 72 and 76 meant Lotus were not competitive.
1975 was even more disastrous for Lotus and Ickx left the team halfway through the season, even though he managed a second place in the chaoticSpanish Grand Prix which was overshadowed by accidents and stopped before half distance. Ickx was generally qualifying about 0.8 seconds slower than teammate Peterson. Ickx was stood down after the 1975 French GP with the promise that Chapman might re-employ him when a competitive new Lotus was ready to race. Ickx did not compete in Formula One for the remainder of 1975.
It seemed that the end of Ickx's career was near. AfterFittipaldi leftMcLaren, Ickx was at the "top of the list."[12] However,James Hunt got the drive, allegedly because McLaren's chief sponsorJohn Hogan had known Hunt for many years.[13] (After Hunt's death, Hogan claimed that he preferred Ickx but McLaren leadership wanted Hunt.[14][15]) In1976 Ickx began the season withWolf–Williams Racing (then entering as "Frank Williams Racing Cars"),[16] but after three races signed with the new team ofWalter Wolf Racing, which had substantial financial backing from Wolf. The Wolf team were also running theWolf–Williams FW05 which was essentially a rebadgedHesketh 308C from 1975 and was uncompetitive. However, at theRace of Champions, Ickx was challenging Hunt andAlan Jones for the lead, when Ickx's visor ripped off. In the world championship races he failed to qualify on four occasions,[16] (a first in his career) achieving a degree of respectability only with a 7th in Spain and a good drive to 10th out of 19 finishers in the French GP in a car which, in the estimate of James Hunt andChris Amon, was worse than useless. Nevertheless, for a large payment from Wolf, Amon agreed to swap drives with Ickx and Ickx raced the rest of the season in the fast and fragile Lotus styledEnsign N176, in which design Amon had suffered horrific breakages atZolder and in theSwedish GP. For most of the Dutch GP, Ickx moved through the field, running the third fastest lap and on most laps was the fastest car in the race. With a newerCosworth engine, Ickx probably would have won, but the under-maintained engine expired ten laps from the end. In the Italian race, Ickx drove at competitive pace in a Grand Prix for the last time, when he finished tenth, only 30 seconds behind winnerRonnie Peterson, hard on the tail ofCarlos Reutemann in a worksFerrari 312T2 in ninth. After a bad crash at the United States Grand Prix atWatkins Glen which he was lucky to have survived with only ankle injuries, Ickx only competed sporadically. In 1977 Ickx competed in only one Grand Prix atMonaco for Ensign finishing tenth.[16] In 1978 he entered four Grands Prix, again for Ensign but only achieved a twelfth place atZolder.[16] In theSwedish Grand Prix atAnderstorp Ickx failed to qualify.[16]
In 1979, he ended his career as a Grand Prix driver atLigier, standing in for the injuredPatrick Depailler,[6] gaining a fifth and sixth, but finding the ground effect cars dangerous and disconcerting, ill-suited to his precise style. Outside of Formula One, Ickx continued to win races in various sports car series, which he had decided to concentrate on exclusively.

In 1966, Ickx teamed up withHubert Hahne in a BMW 2000TI to win theSpa 24 Hours endurance race in his native Belgium. In 1967, Ickx won the1000km of Spa withDick Thompson in theGulf-liveried JW AutomotiveMirage M1.[17] In 1968, Ickx won theBrands Hatch six-hour endurance race partnered withBrian Redman in aJohn Wyer enteredFord GT40 Mk1. Ickx would go on to win the Brands race on a further three occasions, in 1972 for Ferrari alongsideMario Andretti and 1977 and 1982 drivingPorsches withJochen Mass andDerek Bell respectively.
Ickx won the1969 24 Hours of Le Mans, his first victory in that race. This race also saw the first appearance of thePorsche 917 at Le Mans, which was regarded by far as the favourite. TheFord GT40 that Ickx drove withJackie Oliver appeared at that time to be an obsolete car, outperformed by the new Porsche 917 but also by the olderPorsche 908 and the new generation of 3-litre prototypes fromFerrari,Matra andAlfa Romeo.
As Ickx was opposed to the traditional Le Mans start which he considered to be dangerous, he slowly walked across the track to his machine, instead of running. He locked the safety belt carefully and thus was the last to start the race, chasing the field. On lap one, private driverJohn Woolfe, who had not taken time to belt himself in, had a fatal accident in his new and powerful 917.
During the race the Porsche 917 cars proved unreliable, and none finished. The last four hours of the race turned into a duel between the Porsche 908 ofHans Herrmann/Gérard Larrousse and the Ford GT-40 of Ickx/Oliver. In the last hour, Ickx and Herrmann continually leapfrogged each other, the Porsche being faster on the straights owing to having less aerodynamic drag, while being passed again under braking as the brake pads were worn and the team reckoned there was not enough time left to change them. Ickx won the race by the smallest of competitive margins ever, with less than 120 yards (110 m) between the two cars, despite having lost a bigger distance intentionally at the start. He also won his case for safety: from 1970, all drivers could start the race sitting in their cars with the belts tightened properly.
In later years, Ickx won a record six times at the 24h race at Le Mans, becoming known as "Monsieur Le Mans". Three of the wins were withDerek Bell: this would become one of the most legendary partnerships. In 2005,Tom Kristensen surpassed Ickx's record and when Kristensen announced his proposed retirement at the end of the 2014 season[18] had nine victories.
From 1976 on, he was a factory driver for Porsche and their new turbocharged race cars, the935 and especially the936 sports car, which he drove to wins in Le Mans three times. These drives, as well as the losing effort in 1978, often in the rain and at night, were some of the finest ever. Ickx considers the1977 24 Hours of Le Mans race to be his favourite win of all time. Retiring earlier on in another Porsche 936, which he shared withHenri Pescarolo, the team transferred him to the car ofJürgen Barth andHurley Haywood which was in 42nd place. Ickx made up for lost laps to lead the race by early morning, but suffered a mechanical problem which forced the car to pit. The mechanics resolved the issue by switching off one cylinder, and Ickx went on to win the race. The win in 1982 came with the new and superiorPorsche 956 model, though, which carried him to two titles as world champion of endurance racing, in 1982 and 1983.[citation needed]
In 1983, Ickx was the team leader at Porsche, but a new teammate was faster than he was: young GermanStefan Bellof set new lap records at theNürburgring in the last ever sports car race held on the original configuration of Ickx's favourite track. As it turned out, Ickx and Bellof would become involved in controversial events later on.
In 1984, Ickx acted as Formula One race director in Monaco. He stopped the race before half distance due to heavy rain, just as leaderAlain Prost was being caught by a youngAyrton Senna and Bellof. Prost thus won the race but was awarded only half the points for a win (4.5); the Frenchman subsequently lost the1984 World Championship toMcLaren team-mateNiki Lauda by half a point.
In 1985, Ickx was involved with Bellof again, but with fatal consequences. Bellof raced a privateer Porsche while waiting to join the Ferrari in 1986, which had promised him a seat after his performance in Monaco, similar to what they had done for Lauda after he outclassed Ickx there in 1973. At Spa, Ickx's home track, the young German in the privatePorsche 956 ofWalter Brun tried to pass the experienced Belgian in the factoryPorsche 962 for first place after being behind Ickx for three laps. AtEau Rouge corner, Bellof attempted to pass from the left, but Ickx turned left from the right side at the entry of the Eau Rouge and they collided and crashed, Bellof dying an hour later after he crashed the barrier in the "Raidillon" part of the track head-on, while Ickx was shaken but unharmed. He retired from professional circuit racing at the end of the season.

Ickx also co-drove to victory withAllan Moffat at the1977 Hardie-Ferodo 1000 in Australia, becoming the last debutant to win the race until 2011, whenNick Percat matched this feat partnering two-time winnerGarth Tander. The victory at theBathurst 1000 was in aFord XC FalconGroup C Touring Car manufactured in Australia with limited modifications for racing. After only days practice in a car he had never driven before he was doing lap times the same or quicker than drivers who drove nothing else and who were familiar with the circuit.[citation needed] Ickx visited Bathurst's National Motor Racing Museum in January 2025, where he was reunited with the car he and Moffat had driven to victory some 38 years prior.[19]
In 1979, in the newly rebornCan-Am series for rebodied covered wheelFormula 5000 cars, Ickx won against strong opposition fromKeke Rosberg,Elliot Forbes-Robinson andBobby Rahal. Formula One fledgling Rosberg drove his Can Am car with ferocity, but often went off the road trying to match the pace of Ickx, who won the series decisively at the season finale atRiverside. The previous weekend, on the dangerous and undulatingLaguna Seca circuit nearMonterey, Ickx elected to race conservatively rather than going after leaders Forbes-Robinson and Rosberg, but film of the race indicates the brutal nature of this late generation of Can Am racing. Ickx did not return to defend his title the following season.
One of his other Le Mans victories in a non-driving capacity was when he consulted for theOreca team who were running aMazda 787B forMazdaspeed in1991. Ickx was also selected to participate in the1978 and1984 editions of theInternational Race of Champions.
Although he had never driven astock car before, Ickx was entered to race in the1969 Daytona 500, in a car owned byJunior Johnson. A few days before the race, Ickx crashed the car during practice, and although he was not injured, the car was damaged beyond repair. The team's only backup car was needed by eventual race winnerLeeRoy Yarbrough, so Ickx did not have the opportunity to race.[20]
After he retired from his professional racing career, he continued to compete in theParis-Dakar Rally, even competing with daughterVanina in recent years. He won the event in 1983 driving aMercedes-Benz G-Class.[21] Nowadays, he appears in historic events as a driver, such as theGoodwood Festival of Speed and theMonterey Historics, usually on behalf ofPorsche,Ferrari andGenesis. He still acts as the Clerk of the Course for theMonaco Grand Prix and is still a resident ofBrussels.

Jacky Ickx is married to singerKhadja Nin. The couple were guests at thewedding of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock in July 2011.[35] Ickx became a resident ofMonaco in the early 1980s.[36]
Ickx's father Jacques Ickx (1910–1978) and older brotherPascal Ickx (born 1937) were racing drivers.[37] His daughter,Vanina Ickx (from his first marriage withCatherine Ickx) followed in her father's footsteps to become a racing driver as well.
