EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to the iconic 1961 Le Mans 24 hours race, held in the picturesque town of Le Mans, France. The image beautifully encapsulates the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as cars and drivers prepared for their grueling journey. Behind Jean Kerguen and Jacques Dewez's Aston Martin DB4GT Zagato (#1), a lineup of legendary racing machines eagerly await the traditional Le Mans start. Among them are Roy Salvadori and Tony Maggs' Aston Martin DBR1 (#4), Ludovico Scarfiotti and Nino Vaccarella's Maserati Tipo 63 (#9), Olivier Gendebien and Phil Hill's eventual winning Ferrari 250TR Testa Rossa (#10), and Lucien Bianchi with Georges Berger in their Ferrari 250GT SWB (#15). The black-and-white aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from motorsport history. It captures not only these magnificent automobiles but also showcases the skill, bravery, and determination of those behind the wheel. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we can almost hear engines roaring, smell burning rubber, feel our hearts pounding with adrenaline. It serves as a reminder of an era when racing was rawer yet full of elegance—a true testament to human ingenuity pushing boundaries on both speed and endurance.
