Not great for a report card.. Absolutely astounding in this photo of Jack Douglas in the #54 Jaguar D-Type and Carlyle Blackwell in the #18 C-Type. Love the staged shot mimicking a hairy corner and the dramatic pilot underlighting from undoubtedly hot lamps placed in the cockpits.
Thanks to Graham Smith and Aaron Barker on the North American Sportscar Racing Facebook group.
Thanks to Miguel and a few commenters on facebook for tracking down the artist. Timba Smits illustrated this piece for Dunlop commemorating 100 years of the 24 Hours. Unfortunately I don’t see a print on his site, but you should absolutely head over there to see more of their beautiful work. Gorgeous.
I’ve seen a number of Pinterest members and eBay sellers calling this a 1950 LeMans poster. The Jag and Ferrari pictured here make that impossible.. But I can’t seem to find anything more about it.
It looks to me like a contemporary illustration meant to evoke the 50s. I’d love to credit the artist here and maybe get a print. Anyone know anything about it?
Maser… Merc… Jag… Which would you choose?
