1990 Le Mans 24 Hours: A Race for the Ages - John Nielsen, Price Cobb, Eliseo Salazar, and Martin Brundle's Jaguar XJR-12 Take the Chequered Flag The roar of the engines, the scent of fuel, and the thrill of competition: the Le Mans 24 Hours is a race like no other. Held annually since 1923 in the beautiful town of Le Mans, France, this endurance race is a test of man and machine, pushing both to their limits. In 1990, the world watched as four intrepid drivers – John Nielsen, Price Cobb, Eliseo Salazar, and Martin Brundle – took the wheel of the Jaguar XJR-12 and wrote their names into the history books. The scene captured in this photograph, taken on the 16th and 17th of July 1990, shows the Jaguar XJR-12 driven by Nielsen, Cobb, Salazar, and Brundle in the lead, with Jan Lammers, Andy Wallace, and Franz Konrad in the second-place XJR-12 hot on their heels. The tension is palpable as the two cars race side by side, their headlights cutting through the night as they push towards the finish line. The Jaguar XJR-12 was a formidable machine, powered by a 5.3-liter V12 engine capable of producing over 600 horsepower. Its sleek design and advanced technology made it a force to be reckoned with on the track. But it was the skill and determination of its drivers that truly set it apart. Nielsen, Cobb, Salazar, and Brundle had faced numerous challenges during the race, including fierce competition from other teams and unexpected mechanical issues. But they never gave up, pushing their car to its limits and working together to overcome each obstacle. In the end, their perseverance paid off, as they crossed the finish line in first place, securing their place in Le Mans history. This photograph is a testament to the spirit of the Le Mans 24 Hours: a race where the thrill of competition, the beauty of the cars, and the camaraderie of the drivers come together to create a truly unforgettable experience.
