ORIGINAL DRAWING C-TYPE LE MANS ROLT/HAMILTON

Each of the artist's creations is deeply linked to a text written on the drawing. It will appear in his daily life in the form of a book, film, music, quote and will then generate a multitude of images in the his mind that will serve as a catalyst for creating the drawing.

This unique drawing (1/1) celebrates the triumphant victory Tony Rolt and Duncan Hamilton at 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1953.

During that era, cars destined for Le Mans were often driven to the circuit, including those designated for testing or acting as mules. To expedite the process, organizers would assign car numbers in advance for painting. In this case, two Jaguars C-Type were assigned the number 18 and took to the track for practice. However, stewards deemed this practice illegal and disqualified car number 18 from starting the race.

Undeterred, Rolt and Hamilton embraced the setback and decided to make the most of the evening, indulging in festivities. Remarkably, the Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) had a change of heart and retrieved the drivers from the bar. Despite their obvious inebriation, Rolt and Hamilton joined the field the following day and embarked on the grueling race, emerging victorious against all odds.

Their triumph at Le Mans remains a testament to their resilience, camaraderie, and the indomitable spirit of motorsport.
