Which drivers won the famous 1968 Le Mans 24 Hours?

The 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race is one of the most important and renowned motor races in the world, alongside the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500. This is the race that revealed the brand Gulf Oil brand in the eyes of the motoring world. Not least thanks to the sponsorship of John Wyer 's team in 1968, which won its first race with a Ford GT40 MKI in the emblematic orange and blue colors. The drivers behind this iconic victory were Mexico's Pedro Rodriguez and Belgium's Lucien Bianchi.

To pay tribute to this edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, German brand GrandPrix Originals decided to release a special collection. The collection includes this polo shirt Gulf anthracite grey polo shirt. A polo shirt that can be described as sober and elegant thanks to its color. It can be worn with everything, unlike some GPO products, which have a very colorful bias. It's an automotive garment that the brand wanted to highlight as a quality product. This is particularly true of the finishing touches. I'm thinking, for example, of the white piping on the collar and sleeves, or the topstitching on the shoulders, reminiscent of a racing suit. This is a product made by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts. A product you can wear on any occasion. Whether on board your convertible, or at a dinner party with friends, this polo is made for you!
