Lorenzo Bandini and Ludovico Scarfiotti celebrate their victory at the 1963 24 Hours of Le Mans in a Ferrari 250 P. They averaged an incredible 117.99 mph throughout the 2,832-mile race, giving Ferrari its fourth consecutive win at Le Mans. Ferrari had just hired Bandini the previous year, and by 1966, he 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 oil painting vividly captures and preserves a glorious moment from their tragically short careers.
