EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the excitement and intensity of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe, France. In the foreground, Innes Ireland and Jochen Rindt of the F.R. English Ltd / Comstock Racing Team lead the pack in their Ford GT40, with Peter Sutcliffe and Dieter Spoerry of Scuderia Filipinetti's Ford GT40 hot on their heels. Jochen Neerpasch and Jacky Ickx in the Essex Wire Corporation's Ford GT40 and Guy Ligier and Bob Grossmann of Ford France SA's entry are also in close proximity, making for an intriguing and closely contested start. The Ford GT40, an iconic racing car of the era, dominated the race that year, with three of them finishing in the top three positions. This image perfectly encapsulates the spirit of competition and the thrill of the race, as these legendary drivers and their powerful machines set off on their grueling 24-hour endurance challenge.
