Story behind

McLaren F1 GTR at 24h of Le Mans

Designer Gordon Murray and McLaren built the F1 GTR. Come June 1995, the McLaren F1 GTR took outright victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans on its first attempt. With Formula 1 veteran J.J. Lehto carrying the team through the rainiest portions of the race, the #59 Tokyo Ueno Clinic F1 GTR of Lehto, Yannick Dalmas, and Masanori Sekiya won Le Mans on the McLaren F1 GTR’s very first attempt. The car also won the BPR GT Series title in ‘95. Team Lark McLaren then touched down in the Land of the Rising Sun for the first race of All Japan GT Car Championship in 1996 at Suzuka Circuit, and the Team left an indelible mark, scoring a 1-2 finish in their debut race, and the first race for the McLaren F1 GTR. Naoki Hattori and Ralf Schumacher led every session of the weekend to win from pole position. For all of our posters we use high quality off-set printing, premium paper, and vibrant colour reproduction that stands the test of time – just like the cars themselves.
