24 Hours Of Lemans
Attraction, racing, the
1970 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, which took place on June 13-14, 1970. The poster features the winning car, a Porsche 917K, in the red and white livery of the Porsche Konstruktionen Salzburg team. The race was Porsche's first overall victory at Le Mans.
The winning car, number 23, was driven by Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood. In a race marked by heavy rain and high attrition, only seven cars were officially classified as finishers. Porsche dominated the event, finishing first, second, and third. The race is also notable for providing the backdrop for the Steve McQueen film Le Mans.
