EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Patrick Baz from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the heart of the Silkway rally, where adrenaline and determination collide in the vast expanse of Inner Mongolia's Gobi desert. The image showcases Auto-Rally-Russia-China-Silkway-Desert participants Wein Han and co-pilot Jean-Pierre Garcin as they conquer the 13th special stage on July 22,2016. The photograph encapsulates the essence of this grueling race, with its backdrop of towering sand dunes stretching as far as the eye can see. From a high angle perspective, we witness these courageous competitors maneuvering their car through treacherous terrain that challenges both man and machine. This international event brings together a staggering number of racers - 130 in total - who embark on an epic journey spanning over 10,734 kilometers across three countries and two continents. Starting from Moscow and culminating in Beijing, each participant faces countless obstacles along their path to victory. Baz's expertly framed shot captures not only the intensity but also the sheer beauty of this extreme sport.
