EDITORS COMMENTS
Racing into the annals of history, this iconic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Circuit de la Sarthe is abuzz with excitement as Lino Fayen and Herman Rogenry's Moretti Automobili, Moretti 750 Grand Sport, takes the lead. Hot on their heels are Leslie Brooke and Mortimer Morris-Goodall's Standard Triumph TR2, driven by Rene Cotton and Andre Beaulieux's Panhard VM5.
As the sun begins to set on this grueling endurance test, drivers are giving it their all to outmaneuver their competitors. In this split-second snapshot, we see Rene Cotton raising his arm to signal to other drivers around him - a gesture that speaks volumes about the camaraderie and intensity of motorsport at its finest.
This image is more than just a picture; it's a testament to the thrill of competition, where men push themselves to extremes for glory. The passion etched on these faces is palpable as they hurtle towards victory or defeat. This print from Motorsport Images freezes time at precisely 3:45 PM on June 12th, 1955 - an instant forever preserved in racing history.
