Pit Stops

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the Motorsport Images archive, we find ourselves transported back in time to the International Championship for Makes race held at the iconic Goodwood Circuit on August 29, 1964. The scene unfolds at the pit stops, where the intensity of the competition is palpable as teams work tirelessly to ensure their drivers and machines are in peak condition for the next lap. At the heart of the action is Jack Sears, a British racing driver who would go on to become a legend in the sport. Sears is seen here in the pits of the Willment Racing Team, tending to his Shelby Cobra roadster. The Cobra, an American icon, was a formidable contender in the race, its powerful V8 engine roaring around the undulating 2.3-mile circuit at breakneck speed. The pit crew, a hive of activity, work in perfect unison to refuel, adjust tires, and make any necessary repairs. The air is thick with the scent of fuel, oil, and rubber, a testament to the raw power and energy of the event. The pit wall looms in the background, adorned with team logos and sponsor banners, a reminder of the commercial aspect of the sport even in its earliest days. Despite the pressure and chaos, Sears and his team remain focused, their eyes on the prize. The Tourist Trophy was one of the most prestigious races in the motorsport calendar, and victory would mean not only glory but also valuable points in the International Championship for Makes standings. As the sun begins to set on the day, the teams and drivers know that every second counts, and the race is far from over. This photograph captures the essence of the 1964 Tourist Trophy at Goodwood Circuit, a moment frozen in time that continues to inspire and captivate motorsport enthusiasts to this day.
