All our youth

It’s with an immense sadness that we learned the death of Jean Graton, father of the famous comic strip Michel Vaillant at the age of 98.

Jean Graton inspired a whole generation, and our passion for motor racing, we owe it partly to him.

Thanks Jean for all these fantastic stories, for the dreams and the passion. A passion that still burns to this day. You have given us the courage to ‘cross the track’, you have inspired us to race, to draw and to write.

So long, the artist.
