The coolest of all legends, Jacky Ickx – calm, collected, and effortlessly charismatic – sits perched on the rear wheel of his iconic 1969 Brabham BT-26A, moments before taking on the hill at Goodwood's Festival of Speed on Friday.
Even decades after his Formula 1 and Le Mans heroics, the great Belgian driver exudes the same quiet intensity and class that made him a motorsport icon. And the vibrant green machine looks every bit the part – lean, purposeful, and alive with history.
Both car and driver – moving monuments to racing’s golden age – embody the spirit of endurance and elegance, an epitome of sorts of Goodwood’s magical event.
