EDITORS COMMENTS
Racing into history: This iconic photograph captures the thrill of the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Leslie Brooke and Mortimer Morris-Goodall's Standard Triumph TR2 takes the lead ahead of Johnny Claes and Jacques Swaters' Ecurie Francorchamps Jaguar D-type. The Circuit de la Sarthe in France played host to this epic endurance race on June 12, 1955, with these two drivers battling it out for supremacy.
The image is a testament to the skill and determination of these pioneering racing drivers, who pushed their machines to the limit over a grueling 24-hour period. The TR2's sleek design and powerful engine are perfectly captured as it hurtles around the track, its driver focused intently on maintaining his lead.
Meanwhile, Claes and Swaters' Jaguar D-type is hot on their heels, its distinctive shape slicing through the French countryside like a razor. The tension between these two teams is palpable as they fight for victory in one of motorsport's most revered events.
This photograph not only celebrates an incredible moment in racing history but also pays tribute to those who took part in this legendary event.
