EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, the intensity of the RAC Tourist Trophy Race at Goodwood in 1959 is captured in a split second as a fire erupts in the pits. The No.1 Aston Martin, driven by Roy Salvadori, has caught fire during a routine refuelling stop. Salvadori, wearing a helmet and goggles, can be seen in the foreground, his clothes ablaze as he makes a desperate dash away from the inferno. The scene is one of chaos and urgency, with pit crew members scrambling to safety and spectators looking on in shock. Amidst the turmoil, the race continues. Stirling Moss, a legendary driver of the era, takes over the No.2 Aston Martin from Carol Shelby and drives with remarkable skill and determination to win the race, despite the distraction of the pit fire. The image encapsulates the danger and excitement of motor racing in the late 1950s, a time when drivers and teams pushed the limits of technology and human endurance. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the risks involved in the sport and the quick thinking and bravery of those involved. Salvadori, though suffering from minor burns, was fortunate to escape the incident unscathed. The image is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the drivers and teams who competed in the RAC Tourist Trophy Race at Goodwood and the enduring allure of motor racing history.
