Look who honoured us with signatures for the Limited Edition of Tazio 9, the Porsche 911 edition. None other than Belgian Legend Jacky Ickx.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ickx and the 911 share a significant amount of history. The Porsche 911 appeared in Ickx\u2019s career at a time when the momentum in his Formula 1 career was dwindling. And competing further down the grid in F1 was simply something he couldn\u2019t be bothered with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enter Porsche, with a contract proposal as a works driver from 1976 on, with the 936 prototype at Le Mans and with the mighty 935 turbo in the World Endurance Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moby Dick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Tazio 9, Ickx talks at length about his days with the 911: with the famous Moby Dick version, with the \u2018Baby\u2019 935, and of course his favourite topic of all: how he convinced Porsche they should take the 911 to the desert<\/a>. \u201cAfter my Paris \u2013 Dakar victory with Mercedes in 1983, I happened to witness Roland Kussmaul perform a shakedown of one of the old rally 911 SCs. I went to see the head of motorsport, Professor Bott, and I told him: \u2018I think you have the car to win Paris \u2013 Dakar 1984 right here.\u2019 At the time, it looked like Porsche was going to axe the 911. I got a \u2018yes\u2019 from Professor Bott, but as always with him, it was a \u2018yes, but\u2026\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
