Le Mans 24 Hours 1955

Panhard Monopole X88
Francis Navarro / Jean de Montrémy

"Dark Blue Solitude"
Francis Navarro and Jean de Montremy on a Monopole X88 Sport with a Panhard 750cc engine braved the darkness and loneliness on the tree-covered, ultra-long Le Mans straight during night practice of the 24-hour race. The enthusiasm of the many small private teams should be reflected in the watercolor. The big blue night sky and the typical but blue-tinged pine forests are synonymous with the mindset that drivers and spectators, team members and marshals drift into during the long hours of the race. An image synonymous with the "Le Mans feeling".
