EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the Scottish Rally on June 3, 1972, Finnish rallying legend Hannu Mikkola skillfully navigates his Ford Escort MkI RS1600 through a narrow, winding forest stage. His dedicated navigator, Hamish Cardno, is fully focused on the road ahead, holding an open umbrella to shield them from the heavy rain that pours down relentlessly. The mud-splattered windshield and the spray from the tires create a blurred backdrop, adding to the sense of speed and excitement. The action-packed scene is expertly captured by a talented motorsport photographer from LAT Images, who has managed to perfectly frame the moment as Mikkola drifts gracefully around a sharp corner. The photographer's keen eye and quick reflexes have resulted in an image that beautifully encapsulates the raw power, skill, and determination required to compete in a rally event. The Scottish Rally, held in the picturesque yet challenging landscapes of Scotland, was a round of the European Rally Championship (ERC) and attracted some of the best rally drivers from across Europe. Mikkola, a four-time World Rally Champion, was a formidable competitor, and his performance in this event further solidified his reputation as a rallying great. Despite the challenging conditions, Mikkola and Cardno pushed their Ford Escort to its limits, demonstrating their unwavering commitment to their sport and their ability to adapt to even the most adverse weather conditions. This photograph serves as a testament to their skill and the intense, exhilarating nature of rallying.
