EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 2001 World Rally Championship, we witness the intense action that unfolded during the Neste Rally Finland in Jyvaskyla. The image captures a pivotal moment on stage 10 when Jani Paasonen's Ford Focus took an unexpected tumble, rolling over amidst the challenging terrain. Despite this setback, Paasonen's determination was unwavering as he continued to push forward. However, fate had other plans for him. Four stages later, on stage 14, disaster struck again when his car collided with a hidden tree stump. This unfortunate encounter forced Paasonen to retire from the race prematurely. The photograph freezes this dramatic incident in time and showcases both the excitement and unpredictability of rally racing. The credit for capturing this breathtaking moment goes to Ralph Hardwick/LAT (open-uri20120928-27577-rztnld). Their keen eye and skillful photography allow us to relive these adrenaline-fueled moments long after they have passed. This print serves as a reminder of both triumphs and tribulations faced by rally drivers throughout their careers. It encapsulates the spirit of resilience exhibited by competitors like Jani Paasonen who continue pushing boundaries despite encountering obstacles along their path.
