The drivers get going so they can jump in their cars as quickly as possible to get going as fast as they can. Everyone is racing except for a Belgian named Jacky Ickx who pulls up in his Ford GT40. This is his protest for this type of start, as the drivers begin racing without properly putting on their helmets or seatbelts in order to gain a few seconds. Once he got in his car, Ickx put on his helmet, fastened his seatbelt, and started the race one last time. Jacky Ickx eventually won the race and his protest did not go unnoticed and the rules were changed for 1970 so that all drivers started the race seated in their cars with all the necessary safety equipment. Ickx's slowness put an end to the "Le Mans start" and the risks associated with it. 100% High Quality Cotton Custom Slim Fit from the USA Jersey Construction creates a lightweight, breathable shirt with a very soft touch Heritage Twill labels at neck, left arm and bottom Crew neck Black neck tape Dark grey contrast stitching at neck and lower back Machine wash MADE IN THE USA
