EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1968 British Saloon Car Championship, we are transported back in time to witness an exhilarating moment at Silverstone, England. The date is July 27th, 1968, and the atmosphere is electric with anticipation. Frank Gardner, skillfully maneuvering his Ford Escort, takes charge of the race as he leads in the up to 2000 cc class. His determination and prowess on the track are evident as he strives for victory. Meanwhile, Peter Arundell's unfortunate retirement adds a touch of drama to this action-packed scene. As his Ford Escort comes to a halt on the side of the track, one can only imagine his disappointment and frustration at being forced out of contention. Nevertheless, it is clear that both drivers pushed their limits in pursuit of glory. This remarkable photograph captures not only a thrilling motorsport event but also serves as a testament to the passion and dedication exhibited by these competitors during that era. Preserved through time by Motorsport Images under World Copyright: LAT Photographic (Ref: 2073 - 23A-24), this snapshot immortalizes a significant moment in racing history for all enthusiasts to admire and appreciate today.
