McLaren poster – Hunt – Japan 1976

Japan 76, a legendary Grand Prix.

Before the last race of the World Championship, James Hunt was three points late on Nicki Lauda. Run under heavy rains, the race saw many twists. At the beginning of the second lap, Lauda, still marked by his terrible accident in Nüburing, voluntarily abandoned to expose the safety conditions. James Hunt, waiting for his first coronation, easily wins the race in spite of the heavy rains. But in the last lap he punctures a tyre and had to begin a crazy ascent. On the arrival line, not knowing what position he ended in, he nearly assaulted his sports director Teddy Mayer before he learned he ended third, which resulted in his coronation.

Automobilist  revives McLaren's legacy.

This poster celebrates the 40^th birthday of this fantastic victory. McLaren wished to entrust its sports legacy to Automobilist's artists. This decision turned out very well as the result is oustanding. We can admire the M23 chassis subtly laying on a red circle reminding of the Japanese flag. James Hunt 's flag proudly sits bseides the single-seater. You will be seduced by the refinement of the details and the fidelity of the prints. This piece of motor racing history will sublimate your interior.
