    24 heures '70?

    the race dates were the 13th and 14th of June 1970...it may be indicating the valid date in bold 12? Juin 70 (in French) the day before?
    as far as the rest of the text...well...your guess is as good as mine...
    permission speciale d'entree pour navigateur seulement??(special entrance pass for driver's only?)
    you'll need to dig up an example somewhere.

    Hey where are our French friends on this??...they oughta know!
    there must be an aficionado who's got a picture or ...better an old souvenir stashed in a shoebox somewhere

    Frank,

    Until you hear back from the ACO here's a better screenshot I captured and flipped a few minutes ago. Maybe a French speaker can read the text now. This photo also gives you a much better idea of what fonts they used.

    Unfortunately the DVD video is clearer than the screenshot but not by much...

    I thought mirroring it might help you read the text. Here is the original file:
