Beckers made her debut in 1966 in rallying with an NSU and drove for the German brand for two years. In 1967, she participated in 29 events including the 24 Hours of Spa with Marie-Claude Beaumont, and won her first title as Belgian Drivers' Champion. In 1968, after successes in an NSU Prinz and a few races in single-seater Formula Vee, Beckers was contracted by Alfa Romeo Benelux as a works driver. In 37 events, both on circuits and rallying, she regularly won her class in an Alfa Romeo GTV. The highlight of her season was winning the overall ranking at the Houyet hillclimb race driving the Alfa Romeo GTA SA of Team Lucien Bianchi.
Between 1973 and 1977, Beckers entered the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times. In 1976, she joined the Inaltéra team, with Henri Pescarolo and Jean-Pierre Beltoise, alongside Jean-Pierre Jaussaud and Jean Rondeau. In 1977, together with Lella Lombardi, she obtained the best female ranking in the competition to date (11th overall), despite a series of spins following an electrical failure at more than 320 kilometres per hour (200 mph) on the Mulsanne Straight. She repaired the Inaltéra alone, costing the team over two hours. She also finished 7th in the 1971 24 Hours of Le Mans with Roger Dubos.
In addition to circuit racing and rallying, Beckers competed in the Paris–Dakar Rally three times, winning the Ladies' Cup in 1979 with Dominique Fougerouse and again in 1980 with Thierry Gérin and Marc Stinghlamber. She also participated in the Firecracker 400 at Daytona International Speedway in 1977, invited by NASCAR alongside Lella Lombardi, and entered the 24 Hours of Daytona twice, driving for Inaltera and BMW M3. She was 2nd in the 1974 Giro d'Italia automobilistico, in a Fiat Abarth 030 with Giorgio Pianta.
Beckers was engaged to French driver Roger Dubos, who died during the 1973 edition of the 24 Hours of Spa in a crash with Hans-Peter Joisten. Trained as a journalist, Beckers returned to this profession after her retirement from competition, notably in automobile magazines. She also rides motorcycles, flies, paraglides, and drives ATVs, and has undertaken desert crossings with her second husband, Louis Schmitz. Together, they sponsored Thierry Boutsen in Formula 1, and later adopted two children from Brazil with the help of Boutsen and Ayrton Senna.
In 2014, Beckers published her autobiography, La course ou la vie: Itinéraire d'une femme rapide (Race or Life: Itinerary of a Fast Woman). In 2024, at the age of 80, Beckers plans to attempt a Guinness World Record by becoming the oldest person to drive a Formula One car, intending to drive a 1980s-era Arrows A8 around Belgium's Circuit Zolder on 21 July.
