No chicane on the Mulsanne then, what was Jacky's speed there I would say around 220mph...

Jacky Ickx said when he stopped racing : "It's a miracle that I'm still alive" !
Don't find much about his top speed , but I found this :
Roger Dorchy is the most famous person to race at Le Mans you’ve never heard of. On June 11, 1988, the Frenchman recorded the highest top speed ever seen on the epic Mulsanne Straight: 405kph, which is 251mph. His car was a WM-Peugeot.
