EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken during the 1965 24 Hours of Le Mans at Circuit de la Sarthe in France, we find a moment of camaraderie and determination between racing legends Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill. The image, captured by the skilled lens of Rainer Schlegelmilch, beautifully encapsulates the essence of teamwork and the intense focus required during this iconic endurance race. As the Owen Racing Organisation Rover-BRM Turbine car undergoes a pitstop, Stewart, with a confident and determined expression, gives a thumbs-up to his teammate Hill. In response, Hill, ever the charismatic character, replies with a two-finger salute, a gesture that was popular among drivers during that era. The interplay of gestures and smiles between the two drivers conveys a sense of unity and mutual respect, highlighting the importance of teamwork in the high-pressure world of motor racing. The pitstop scene is a hive of activity, with crew members working diligently to refuel and make adjustments to the car. The contrast between the intense focus of the pit crew and the momentary exchange between Stewart and Hill underscores the balance of individual skill and collective effort that is essential for success in endurance racing. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the indomitable spirit of the drivers and teams who have competed in this legendary event. It is a poignant reminder of the human element that lies at the heart of motor racing, even amidst the technological marvels and adrenaline-pumping action.
