EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the 1972 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) at Brands Hatch, England, a Ford Capri races through the iconic turns of the historic circuit. The image captures the raw power and intensity of Group 1 touring car racing during this era, with the Capri's sleek bodywork and distinctive blue and white livery standing out against the lush green backdrop of the English countryside. The BTCC was a popular and competitive series in the United Kingdom during the 1970s, featuring production-based saloon cars that were modified to enhance their performance on the track. The Capri, a popular choice among drivers and fans alike, was a force to be reckoned with in Group 1, which allowed for more extensive modifications than the more restrictive Group 2. In this action-packed shot, the Capri's driver expertly navigates the twists and turns of the Brands Hatch circuit, the car's tires screeching in protest as it pushes the limits of traction. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the excitement and energy of touring car racing during this time, with the Capri's powerful engine roaring as it charges towards the next corner. The image, taken by renowned motorsport photographer Phipps/Sutton from Motorsport Images, is a testament to the passion and skill of the drivers and teams competing in the BTCC during the 1970s. It is a snapshot of a bygone era in motorsport history, a time when racing was all about raw power, skill, and the thrill of the chase. Whether you're a motorsport enthusiast or simply appreciate the beauty and intensity of high-performance cars, this photograph is sure to leave you feeling inspired and invigorated.
