1969 was the last year of the tradition Le Mans start. As a protest against safety, Jacky Ickx walked to his ford GT40 while the rest of the field ran to their cars and tried to get away as quickly as possible. He was protesting about the way drivers failed to shut their doors properly and have the seatbelts fastened properly.
The previous year [1968] a driver had been seriously injured when his door had blown off on the mulsanne straight.
Half a lap later Privateer John Wolfe fatally crashed his 917 at Mansion Blanche.
Ickx went on to win the race.
