Yacco highlights the quality of its "all-weather" oils, illustrated by its numerous world records.
The iconography focuses on the Montlhéry Autodrome circuit, including the famous Citroën Rosalie, surrounded by motorbikes, motorboats and aeroplanes.
The performances are detailed with dates and distances covered, highlighting Yacco's role in these mechanical exploits.
Born out of the industrial environment of Hispano-Suiza, the Yacco brand was created in 1920 under the impetus of Jean Dintilhac, through the OMO subsidiary dedicated to lubricants. Yacco quickly specialised in engine oils, taking advantage of the boom in the automotive and aviation industries.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the brand made its mark with an innovative strategy based on competition and records, notably with the Voisin cars (driven by César Marchand), and then the famous Citroën "Rosalie" cars, which accumulated speed and endurance records.
