EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph from the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, three Ford GT40s battle it out on the historic Circuit de la Sarthe in France. At the forefront is the Essex Wire Corporation entry driven by Peter Revson and Skip Scott, leading the way with a determined look on their faces. Hot on their heels is the Ford France SA car, driven by Guy Ligier and Bob Grossmann, just a few car lengths behind. The tension in the air is palpable as the two GT40s jockey for position. But the race is far from over, as evidenced by the Holman & Moody Ford Mk II making a pitstop in the background. Mark Donohue and Paul Hawkins can be seen working diligently to refuel and make adjustments to their car, knowing that every second counts in this grueling endurance race. The 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans was a pivotal moment in motorsport history, with Ford's GT40s dominating the race and securing a 1-2-3 finish. This photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the race, with the drivers and their teams pushing themselves to the limit in pursuit of victory. The image is a testament to the passion, skill, and determination that defines motorsport and continues to inspire generations of fans and racers alike.
