EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of victory for British driver Charles Jarrott at the Circuit des Ardennes race in 1903. Jarrott, with a determined look in his eyes, skillfully maneuvers his 70 Panhard through a cloud of dust, having successfully overtaken his competitors. The grueling race, held in the picturesque Ardennes region of Belgium, tested the mettle of both man and machine, with an average speed of 54 mph. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of early motorsport, where the roar of the engine, the crunch of gravel under tires, and the raw power of the vehicles were the defining elements of the sport. The 70 Panhard, with its sleek design and robust engineering, was a formidable contender in the racing scene of the early 20th century. This photograph, taken during a time when automobiles were still a novelty, offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of motoring and the spirit of competition that continues to drive the industry to this day.
