Rothmans and Shell where two main sponsors for Porsche in that time. Rothmans was still "main" sponsor but the contract guaranteed Shell also a "full paint job" on one of the LeMans event. That is one part of history. Othe one is that Jaguars had Silk Cut cigarettes paintjob. SilkCut was owned by Gallaher Group, but they also had Benson and Hedges - that was also part of Rothmans group. In other words, they wanted to focus pepols atetion on only ONE main cigarete producer... Silk Cut
Rothmans where still in the sport, but they had "one year in second line" . I remember the main sentence of Shell and Rothmans double sponsorhip. It was: "Two names, that take Porsche to the limit" and both logos where on posters and all that stuff.
