EDITORS COMMENTS
Great photo capturing the intensity and excitement of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race at Circuit de la Sarthe, France. In this image, American drivers Peter Revson and Skip Scott are seen driving the Essex Wire Corporation-sponsored Ford GT40 Mk II, number 21, during the iconic endurance race. The Ford GT40, a legendary car in motorsport history, was a dominant force in the sports car world during the 1960s, and this particular car was one of the most successful entries in the 1966 Le Mans race. Revson and Scott were part of the Ford factory team, and they were determined to bring home a victory for the American automaker. The duo battled fierce competition from Ferrari and other teams throughout the grueling 24-hour race. In this moment, they are focused intently on the track, their expressions a mix of determination and concentration. The crowd in the background adds to the sense of excitement and energy, making this photo a true representation of the passion and intensity that defined the 1966 Le Mans race. The Essex Wire Corporation's sponsorship of the Ford GT40 added an extra layer of significance to this race. Essex Wire, a leading manufacturer of wire and cable products, was a major supporter of the Ford racing program, and their logo proudly adorned the side of the GT40. This photo serves as a reminder of the important role that corporate sponsorship plays in motorsport, and how it helps to fuel the passion and competition on the track. Overall, this photo is a stunning representation of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race and the intense competition that defined it. The image captures the spirit of the era and the passion that continues to drive motorsport to this day.
