The 1979 Le Mans poster is part of the "Early Sponsorship and Advertising" era in Le Mans posters and which lasted from 1975 to 1980.
This poster is based on a color photo taken during the 1978 race and the production and lay-out were in the hands of the Publi-Inter agency.
As photographic techniques improved, the designer gives us a hard-hitting optical effect using the cars' headlights which underlines the mystery of racing at night.
French TV channel TF1 was on hand to show the race and their logo is featured prominently on the poster.
The race was won by Klaus Ludwig / Don Whittington / Bill Wittington in their # 49 Kremer Porsche 935 K3 with a total of 306 laps to their name.
