Indian Racing driver, Karthik Tharani was waiting on the starting grid strapped into his race car before the start. With no AC in race cars, drivers often crack open the windows just a little to allow some air inside, but not hurt the aerodynamics. I was able to get a shot through that small crack in the window, and he gave the thumbs up that he was ready to roll.
He then went on to win the race.
After the race when I showed him the image and we became acquainted with each other.
Also, it was from a time when crowds were allowed at sporting events.
Fantastic! I absolutely love this picture!
