Pascal Ickx (born March 30, 1937, in Lubbeek) is a Belgian former racing driver that competed on circuits for Grand Touring sports cars in the 1960s.
He is the son of the gentleman-driver and journalist Jacques Ickx, and the older brother of Jacky Ickx.[1]
Pascal Ickx's first appearance in racing came in the late 1950s where he made an appearance in the 1959 Liège-Rome-Liège driving a Saab. The following year in 1960, he would appear in the Liège-Rome-Liège again driving a BMW 700. That same year, he would drive in the 12 Hours of Huy finishing 32nd.[2] He also made several appearances in World Rally Cars, most notably the ADAC Rallye Tour d'Europe in 1963 driving a Fiat 2300.[3][4][5]
He became a full-time journalist in the mid-1960s after retiring from racing. He used to serve as a reserve officer in the Belgian Army.[8]
