Rothmans Blue Wall Art

Rothmans Blue — 5 museum-grade prints in this palette. The Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 won consecutive WRC manufacturers' championships in 1985 and 1986 — the only French manufacturer to dominate Group B before the FIA banned the class. Its transverse mid-engine, four-wheel-drive layout represented a different engineering answer to Audi's longitudinal quattro concept, and the Rothmans-sponsored livery became as recognisable on forest stages as Martini stripes on Lancias. The Ford GT40's 1966 Le Mans sweep ended Ferrari's long dominance and became shorthand for Anglo-American racing ambition. Porsche's 956 remains among the most successful endurance prototypes ever built, with Rothmans livery among the most collected in motorsport graphics. Rothmans was among the most recognisable sponsor liveries of the 1980s, backing Porsche's factory Group C programme through Le Mans dominance and extending the same colour scheme to the 959's Paris-Dakar campaign. The blue-white-gold treatment remains a shorthand for Porsche endurance pedigree in collector circles — distinct from Gulf, Martini, or John Player Special eras that followed.
