A defining moment in endurance racing history, this stunning original painting by Paul Dove captures Jacky Ickx and Jackie Oliver’s Gulf-liveried Ford GT40 overtaking the Elford/Attwood Porsche 917 at Le Mans 1969. This race would go down in history as the closest-ever Le Mans finish at the time, with Ickx’s GT40 taking victory by just 120 meters (1.5 seconds) after 24 hours of racing. It also marked the last Le Mans win for the legendary GT40, as Porsche’s newer, more powerful 917 threatened to dominate the future of endurance racing. The scene perfectly encapsulates the balance of speed, strategy, and resilience that defined this era of motorsport.
