In this print from April 1972, the thrilling world of motor racing at Silverstone comes to life. The Formula 5000 car race was fiercely contested, but it was Graham McRae who emerged victorious behind the wheel of his powerful Leda T27 Morand Chevrolet, proudly displaying Car No. 22 on its sleek exterior. Amidst the adrenaline-fueled atmosphere in the pits, a delightful surprise awaited spectators - Micky de Rauch, a close friend of renowned American racing driver Peter Revson. With her vibrant energy and love for outdoor adventures, Micky had been lending her support to Peter over the past two days as he prepared to compete in tomorrow's Daily Express International Trophies Race for Formula 1 and Formula 5000 cars. Despite the freezing temperatures that gripped Silverstone that day, Micky's enthusiasm remained unwavering as she cheerfully remarked how the excitement kept her warm amidst such challenging conditions. Her presence added an extra touch of glamour and charm to an already electrifying event. This remarkable photograph captures not only the heart-pounding action on track but also highlights the camaraderie and dedication found within motorsport circles. It serves as a timeless reminder of a bygone era when speed demons ruled Silverstone's hallowed grounds and beautiful friendships blossomed amidst roaring engines and screeching tires.
