About the Item

This original 1966 poster, designed by Beligond, promotes the Grands Prix de France (F2) and the Coupe Internationale de Vitesse (F3), held at the legendary Linas-Montlhéry circuit on Sunday, September 11, 1966. A true testament to the golden age of Formula racing, this artwork embodies the raw speed and fierce competition of mid-1960s motorsport. Beligond’s expressive brushwork and bold composition bring the action to life, featuring Formula 2 and Formula 3 cars in a dramatic wheel-to-wheel battle. The dynamic perspective and high-speed motion blur create a sense of intensity and adrenaline, characteristic of the era’s exhilarating racing atmosphere. The colorful helmets and distinct car liveries capture the diversity of teams and drivers, making this a visually striking and historically significant piece. The Linas-Montlhéry circuit, built in 1924, was one of France’s most challenging tracks, famous for its high-speed banking and demanding corners. By 1966, it had become a crucial venue for Formula 2 and Formula 3 competitions, serving as a proving ground for young talent aspiring to reach the pinnacle of motorsport. A unique feature of this poster is its prominent sponsorship by Craven “A” cigarettes, reflecting the era’s strong ties between motorsport and tobacco advertising. The inclusion of a pack of Craven “A” Virginia cigarettes in the design adds a nostalgic touch, highlighting the branding practices of the time. Collectors and enthusiasts value this Beligond masterpiece for its artistic quality, historical relevance, and evocative depiction of classic racing. It remains a sought-after item for those passionate about vintage motorsport memorabilia and the thrilling spirit of Formula racing in the 1960s.
