EDITORS COMMENTS
June sunshine and anticipation fill the air as the starting grid of the iconic Circuit de la Sarthe comes alive on June 15, 1963. In this photograph by renowned motorsports photographer Rainer Schlegelmilch, drivers burst into action at the start of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.
As if frozen in time, we see a flurry of movement as competitors sprint to their cars, eager to get behind the wheel and take on the challenge ahead. The starter's flag has dropped, signaling the beginning of an epic battle that will test drivers' skills, strategy, and stamina over 24 hours.
The atmosphere is electric - tension builds in every runner's stride as they dash towards their machines. The sounds of revving engines and screeching tires are mere seconds away from erupting into a cacophony of speed and competition. This moment captures the essence of motorsport: raw energy, human determination, and the thrill of racing at its finest.
Schlegelmilch's lens has captured this instant in time with precision and poise, inviting us to step back into history and relive the excitement that defined an era.
