1966 24 hours du Mans (Lemans) by Andre Delourmel vintage poster
The official poster for the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans was designed by André Delourmel. It features a striking composition that captures the excitement and intensity of the race, with cars speeding under the iconic Dunlop bridge.

The 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans is remembered as one of the most dramatic and significant races in motorsport history. Ford famously defeated Ferrari after years of dominance, with the GT40 Mk II achieving a historic 1-2-3 finish. The race became a battle of endurance and strategy, particularly under the rain-soaked conditions that tested both drivers and machines. The controversial finish saw Bruce McLaren and Chris Amon declared winners due to a technicality in the rules, despite crossing the line side-by-side with teammates Ken Miles and Denis Hulme.
