EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rainer Schlegelmilch, we are transported back to the thrilling atmosphere of the 1964 24 Hours of Le Mans. The image showcases the heart-pounding start of the race at Circuit de la Sarthe in France on June 22nd. As the flag drops, drivers sprint towards their powerful machines, ready to embark on a grueling endurance battle. In the foreground, we witness two iconic figures in motorsport history: John Surtees and Richie Ginther. Surtees, wearing his determined expression, races towards his Ferrari 330P parked at pole position with number 19 emblazoned on its sleek bodywork. Meanwhile, Ginther matches Surtees' intensity as he dashes towards his Ford GT40 Mk. 1 adorned with number 11. The photograph perfectly captures the excitement and anticipation that fills the air during those crucial moments before one of motorsport's most prestigious events begins. It is a snapshot frozen in time that encapsulates both the action-packed nature of racing and highlights these legendary drivers' dedication to their craft. Rainer Schlegelmilch's masterful composition immerses us into this historic event, allowing us to feel as though we are right there amidst all the energy and adrenaline coursing through Circuit de la Sarthe that fateful day in 1964.
