EDITORS COMMENTS
Relive the thrill of the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans with this stunning print by David Phipps, captured at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France. The iconic Ford GT40, driven by Peter Revson and Skip Scott for Essex Wire Corporation, makes a pit stop during the grueling endurance race. The image is a testament to the skill and strategy required to navigate the challenging track.
The Ford GT40 was a dominant force in endurance racing during this era, and its sleek design is on full display as it slows down for fuel and tire changes. The team's bright blue livery stands out against the French countryside backdrop, while Revson and Scott work together seamlessly to refuel their machine.
This photograph not only showcases the technical prowess of these drivers but also captures a moment of tension as they push their car to its limits. With every pit stop being crucial in determining victory or defeat, every second counts at Le Mans. This historic image from David Phipps' lens takes us back to an era when speed demons like Revson and Scott battled it out on one of motorsport's most revered stages.
