Career

Ickx was born in Brussels on 16 February 1975.

BMW 320i with Sylvie Delcour. In 1998 Ickx transferred to the Renault team, partnered by Frenchman Franck Lagorce. She scored her first podium that year, but on the downside, when sharing a car with her father Jacky, she crashed out of the Spa 24 Hours, admittedly by her own fault. She remained a part of the Renault team in 1999. In 2000, she joined Renault, resulting in a career-high third place overall in that year's Spa 24 Hours. That same year she would also score her first victory in the Ferrari Challenge
.

Already having participated in two

Rally Raid events the year before, she entered the Dakar Rally
for the first time in 2000, co-driving with her father, Jacky. Since then she has entered the raid two more times, the last time being in 2002.

In 2001, she tried her hand at single-seater racing for the first time, participating in the

U.S. F2000 National Championship. The rest of the year she filled with guest appearances in races in Europe: the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Belgian Toyota Yaris Cup, the Porsche Supercup
, and the Spa 24 Hours. With the exception of the Formula 2000 and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ickx's 2002 racing schedule was pretty similar to the one she had in 2001.

Her studies demanding more of her time as she neared graduation,[

Estoril
.

For 2004 she once again had a full-time program, this time in the

Monza round of the short-lived Formula X championship. She collected a class victory in the Spa 24 Hours and made a guest appearance in the Porsche Supercup at the Belgian Grand Prix
. 2005 saw Ickx continue in the Belcar championship, racing the same
Gillet Vertigo
in the invitation class.

Ickx was hired by Audi to race in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in 2006 and 2007, but was replaced by Katherine Legge for 2008.

In October 2011 she participated in the World Solar Challenge for the Umicore Solar Team.[citation needed] and in the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup.[1]

She was the first driver to get behind the wheel of the Citroën Survolt (a concept electric racing car) at Le Mans on 12 July 2010.

Vanina lives with her boyfriend Benjamin de Broqueville in Wiesbaden. Together, they have one son named Ado who was born in April 2013.[2][3][4]
