EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the Scottish Rally on June 3, 1972, Finnish rallying legend Hannu Mikkola and his navigator Hamish Cardno can be seen expertly maneuvering their Ford Escort MkI RS1600 through a narrow, winding forest stage. The image captures the raw power and excitement of rallying in its infancy, as Mikkola drifts gracefully around a sharp bend, kicking up a plume of mud and gravel in the process. The crowd, huddled at the side of the road, watches in awe as the rally car roars past, the sound of its roaring engine echoing through the trees. The atmosphere is electric, with the scent of petrol and excitement in the air. Mikkola's focus is unwavering as he pushes the Escort to its limits, his hands gripping the wheel tightly as he navigates the treacherous terrain. The Scottish Rally was one of the most challenging events on the European Rally Championship calendar, with its narrow, winding stages and unpredictable weather conditions. Mikkola, a seasoned rally driver, was no stranger to the challenges of the sport, having already amassed an impressive record of victories in the World Rally Championship. Despite the difficult conditions, Mikkola and Cardno pushed on, determined to secure another victory. Their skill and determination paid off, as they crossed the finish line in first place, cementing their place in rallying history. This photograph is a testament to their talent and the raw excitement of rallying in the 1970s, a time when the sport was still in its infancy and the thrill of competition was at its peak.
