This oil painting depicts Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti celebrating after their win at the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Ferrari 250 P. The drivers averaged an incredible 117.99 mph throughout the 2,832-mile race, giving Ferrari their fourth consecutive win at Le Mans. Ferrari had just hired Bandini the previous year, and by 1966, Bandini had replaced John Surtees as Ferrari’s number one driver. Sadly, Bandini and Scarfiotti were killed in racing accidents in 1967 and 1968, respectively. This large-scale oil painting vividly captures and preserves a glorious moment from their tragically short careers.
