EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the 1973 RAC Rally, Finnish rallying legend Hannu Mikkola and his British co-driver John Davenport can be seen expertly navigating their Ford Escort MkI RS 1600 through a narrow and winding forest stage. The image captures the intense concentration and skill required to tackle the demanding terrain of the RAC Rally, as Mikkola masterfully drifts the rear-wheel-drive car around a sharp left-hand corner, sending up a plume of mud and gravel in the process. The crowd that has gathered at the side of the road is a testament to the popularity and excitement of rallying during this era. The spectators lean in, some with cameras at the ready, as they witness Mikkola's impressive driving ability up close. The atmosphere is electric, with the sound of revving engines and the crunch of gravel under tires adding to the sense of anticipation and adrenaline. Despite the challenging conditions, Mikkola and Davenport maintain their focus, their eyes locked on the road ahead as they push their Ford to the limit. The oversteer is evident in the way the rear of the car slides out, but Mikkola's expert handling keeps the car on course. This image encapsulates the raw power, skill, and excitement of rallying in the 1970s, making it a must-have for any motorsport enthusiast's collection.
