1. Title: "Le Mans 1954: The Roar of the Starting Grid" 2. Description: This photograph transports us back to the 12th and 13th of June, 1954, at the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. The image captures the raw energy and excitement of the race's start, as drivers in period racing attire dash towards their machines on the grid. 3. Background: The 1954 Le Mans 24 Hours was a pivotal moment in the history of endurance racing. The event took place at the Circuit de la Sarthe, a challenging 8.47-mile (13.63 km) road course in Le Mans, France. This race marked the beginning of an era where factory teams from major automobile manufacturers began to dominate the event, setting the stage for decades of intense competition. 4. Composition: The photograph masterfully frames the scene, with the drivers' determined expressions and focused body language contrasting against the backdrop of the empty grid. The starting lights, bathed in a warm, golden glow, add an element of drama and suspense, while the blur of the drivers' legs and shadows cast by the cars create a sense of motion and urgency. 5. Technical Details: This photograph is a glass plate negative, captured by the renowned Motorsport Images agency (not to be confused with the company Autocar Glass Plate). The image is part of the extensive lemansbook collection, which documents the rich history of the Le Mans 24 Hours race from 1949 to 1959. 6. Copyright: © LAT Photographic. All rights reserved.
