24 Hours of Le Mans 1978 – Original French Motor Racing Poster by Lardrot
Original vintage poster for the 46th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held June 10–11, 1978, at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Lardrot puts the driver at the center of the design, pairing a close-up of a helmeted racer with a large red “24.” The illustration was painted to evoke the dotted texture of screen printing. The prominent placement of local insurer Les Mutuelles du Mans reflects the growing role of sponsorship in Le Mans poster design during the late 1970s.
Didier Pironi and Jean-Pierre Jaussaud won the race in the No. 2 Renault-Alpine A442B, known as the “bubble-top,” completing 369 laps.
