EDITORS COMMENTS
In this thrilling photograph from the 1979 RAC Rally, Finnish rallying legends Hannu Mikkola and Arne Hertz can be seen navigating their Ford Escort RS 1800 MKII through a muddy and rain-soaked stage. The image captures the intensity and excitement of the rally scene, with Mikkola focused intently on the road ahead as Hertz deftly maneuvers the car through a series of ruts and puddles. The spray from the tires kicks up mud and water, creating a misty veil that envelops the car and adds to the sense of motion and energy. The RAC Rally, held annually in the United Kingdom, was one of the most prestigious and challenging events in the World Rally Championship (WRC) calendar. The 1979 edition of the rally featured some of the best drivers and teams in the world, and the competition was fierce. Mikkola and Hertz were no strangers to success, having already won the WRC championship together in 1983 and 1984. But the 1979 RAC Rally presented a new challenge, and they were determined to add another victory to their impressive resume. Despite the challenging conditions, Mikkola and Hertz pushed their Ford Escort RS 1800 MKII to the limit, navigating the twisting and turning stages with skill and precision. Their determination paid off, as they went on to win the rally, cementing their place in rallying history. This photograph captures the essence of their achievement, a moment of raw speed and determination in the face of adversity.
