4EME CRITERIUM INTERNATIONAL DE VITESSE MOTOCYCLISTE LES 18 ET 19 AVRIL 1964 ESSAIS DES VOITURES DES 24 HEURES DU MANS
BELIGOND
" This poster announces the weekend of April 18 and 19, 1964—specifically thepreliminary practice sessions for the 24 Hours race cars, combined with a motorcycle race: the 4th International Motorcycle Speed Criterium (300–500 cc categories). Historical records for the 1964 preliminary trials confirm the dates of Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, with 33 car entries participating in the sessions on the 13.461 km circuit. The Role of Shell The two Shell logos are not merely decorative; they indicate the event's sponsorship. Béligond creates a highly dynamic composition: in the foreground, a motorcycle—viewed from above and leaning hard into a turn—appears to be bursting out of the poster, while in the background, a red race car speeds away into the distance. The concept is clear: to combine both aspects of the event—motorcycle racing and the 24 Hours car trials—into a single image. The artwork is not a precise, documentary-style illustration of a specific motorcycle or car model. Instead, it is an image that conveys speed through diagonals, streaks of light, a vivid yellow background, the red of the car, and the black of the rider. Béligond prioritizes visual impact over mechanical accuracy. Sporting Context 1964 was a significant year for Le Mans: the main 24 Hours of Le Mans race, held later that June, was won by the Ferrari 275 P driven by Jean Guichet and Nino Vaccarella. The official 24 Hours website commemorates this 1964 Ferrari victory. "
