EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the raw energy and unpredictability of the 1927 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, specifically the Rudge-Whitworth Cup event. In the foreground, the aftermath of a devastating collision between Bentley cars no.1 and no.2 is evident. Leslie Callingham, the driver of Bentley no.1, lies thrown clear of the wreckage, while George Duller, the driver of Bentley no.2, jumps from the scene. The impact had also involved Bentley no.3, driven by Sydney "Sammy" Houghton and Dr Joseph Dudley Benjafield, and a Schneider car driven by Pierre Tabourin. The Schneider had skidded, adding to the chaos on the track. The 1920s Le Mans 24 Hours race was a test of endurance, skill, and luck for drivers and their machines, and this photograph encapsulates the risks and excitement of the era. The Bentley team, led by Sammy Davis and Joe Benjafield, would go on to win the race, making this collision a mere blip in their historic victory. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the thrilling and often dangerous world of 1920s motor racing.
