Yacco quickly specialized in motor oils, capitalizing on the boom in the automotive and aviation industries. In the 1920s and 1930s, the brand established itself through an innovative strategy centered on racing and record-breaking, notably with Voisin automobiles (driven by César Marchand) and later the famous Citroën “Rosalie” models, setting numerous speed and endurance records.
