Pictorial Boards. Condition: Fine. First Edition. 242pp, profusely illustrated in color and duotone. Text in English. "Jacky Ickx has been to the front and back. Miraculously, he survived a period in which death lurked behind every corner, like when his Ferrari caught fire in 1970 during a race in Jarama. Jacky Ickx's career is one of the richest in the history of racing: two-time vice-world champion Formula 1, winner of eight grands prix, six-time winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans, two-time world endurance champion with victories in the Paris-Dakar Rally and the American Can Am-championship. This book presents the twenty-four defining moments of Ickx' career, illustrated with exclusive photography from the best archives and photo collections in the world". Long retired, Jacky Ickx is widely regarded as the greatest Belgian F1 and sports car driver of the twentieth century, and this lavish book - which includes his own introduction along with a foreword by legendary Belgian cycling champion Eddie Merckx - authored by noted motorsports journalist Pierre Van Vliet is a fitting tribute. A bright, most handsome example of the uncommon 2012 English language edition.
