- In the 1960’s and 1970’s, there was only one racing driver from Japan - Tetsu Ikuzawa. My father.
- He raced against other European racing legends including Jacky Stewart, Graham Hill, Jochen Rindt, Ronnie Peterson, Emerson Fittipaldi, Jack Brabham...
- 1968 - Brabham BT21 Finland F3
- Japan's only ever Porsche Factory Driver
- 1967 - Porsche Team Mate Jochen Rindt
- 1969 - Mum and Dad
- Style barometer is off the scale
- I had no choice. No dolls, just throttle control.
- Today, the retired legendary racing driver is just a dad and fixes the flat battery on my car.
HE WAS NO ROOKIE...
