XJR-9 Silkcat print
One of the most iconic race liveries, the Jaguars in Groupe C and the Silkcut branding became inexorably linked. So much so, that the cars became known as the “Silkcats”. These cars would win the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988, on their way to claiming the World Sports Car Championship. I’ve had the pleasure of watching McLaren CEO Zak Brown drive this car at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion and always wanted to create a painting of it. Really quite happy with how this one has turned out.
