In this thrilling photograph from the archives of Motorsport Images, Finnish rallying legend Hannu Mikkola and his Scottish co-driver Hamish Cardno are seen navigating their Ford Escort MkI RS1600 through the winding and rugged terrain of the Scottish Rally on June 3, 1972. The image captures the intense concentration and focus of the drivers as they tackle the challenging conditions of the event, which was known for its demanding stages and unpredictable weather. The Ford Escort MkI RS1600, with its distinctive red and white livery, is seen powering through a forest stage, its tires kicking up a spray of mud and gravel as it navigates a sharp turn. Mikkola's determined expression and steely gaze are a testament to his skill and experience as a rally driver, while Cardno's intense scrutiny of the road ahead reveals the importance of their teamwork and communication in overcoming the challenges of the rally. The Scottish Rally was a round of the European Rally Championship, and Mikkola and Cardno's victory in this event helped establish them as a formidable force in the world of rallying. The image serves as a reminder of the excitement and adrenaline-pumping action that defined rallying in the 1970s, and the enduring appeal of this high-speed motorsport discipline. The photograph also showcases the iconic Ford Escort MkI RS1600, which became a legend in its own right, and continues to be a favorite among rally enthusiasts and collectors. This image is a must-have for any rallying fan or motorsport history buff, and a testament to the thrilling and unforgettable moments that have defined the sport over the decades.
