MotorsportMemorabilia 1969 Grand Prix commemorative cover signed JEAN-PIERRE BELTOISE 1969 was a very good year for Jackie Stewart who completely dominated the season in the Cosworth engined Matra MS80. Having won the first race in the MS10, he gained 5 further victories in the MS80 to win the title outright. Although Stewart only gained 2 pole positions, compared with 5 by the Lotus 49B and 4 by the Brabham BT26A, he led for almost half the total laps in the season. Jackie Ickx won 2 races in the Brabham to come runner up in the championship and Bruce McLaren was third in his M7A. The artwork portrays two Matras driven by Jackie Stewart and Jean-Pierre Beltoise leading the French Grand Prix at Clermont-Ferrand. Matra is the only French constructor to have won F1 titles.

After a badly breaking his arm in a very nasty accident at Reims in 1964, he returned the circuit the following year to win an F3 race, the first ever win for Matra. Further successes with Matra followed with 2 F3 wins in Europe and 4 in the Argentine Temporada Series before taking the manufacturer to the 1968 European F2 title; a tremendous feat for the first year read more
