EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph from the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, American racers Peter Revson and Skip Scott lead the way in their Essex Wire Corporation-sponsored Ford GT40. The Ford GT40, a revolutionary sports car engineered to dominate the world's most prestigious endurance race, was a formidable force on the Circuit de la Sarthe that year. Revson, a talented and ambitious driver from Long Island, New York, and Scott, a seasoned racer from Texas, were part of the Ford factory team that aimed to secure a victory for the American automaker. Their Ford GT40, numbered 101, was adorned with the distinctive Essex Wire Corporation logo, a testament to the company's support of the team. Behind them, French drivers Guy Ligier and Bob Grossmann in the Ford France SA-backed Ford GT40, numbered 21, are hot on their heels. The intense concentration on their faces and the determined expressions in their eyes reveal the high stakes of the race. The battle for the lead between these two Ford GT40s would continue throughout the grueling 24-hour endurance event, with the outcome remaining uncertain until the very end. The photograph captures the raw energy and excitement of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, a time when the world's best drivers and most innovative automobiles came together to test their mettle on the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe. The image stands as a testament to the passion, skill, and determination that defined this iconic race and continues to inspire generations of motorsport enthusiasts. Rainer Schlegelmilch's camera immortalized this moment in motorsport history, providing a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
