Larrousse Lola LC90 sponsor help needed
Hello all. Hoping to find out what this sponsor is on the rear wing of the LC90 at Paul Ricard.
I am working on my 1990 French Grand Prix project, and have found with my past builds that the markings of the cars were often unusual for that race. I have had to custom print many decals for the (silly?) sake of accuracy.
This sponsor logo is clearly seen on Bernard's car for only the French GP, but I cannot seem to find Suzuki's car from that race with a clear shot of the rear lower wing.
Also, it seems to be only on one side of the wing.
What is it and is it on Suzuki's car as well? I plan on doing Suzuki's car, as I am only doing one car per team.
Thanks!

The Motorsportimages.com photo shows both LC90 in the same picture. It looks like that Suzuki's car did not have any sponsor on the lower rear wing. It is just red.

Good news and bad news...
The good news:
The company is called Rhône-Poulence.
The bad news:
They even had advertising inside the cockpit because of the onboard camera:

Why did they use four logos on Bernards car?
If a small logo is attached multiple times, I always think of achievement stickers, like the laurels on the JPS Lotus. So what did Bernard do 4 times in 1990 until the French Grand Prix?
He finished 4 races!
Surely the lowest achievement award I have ever seen!
Edit
I found a picture.
There is no logo on Suzukis car.

Yes, as Steffen says. They were a chemical manufacturer, French company. They sponsored the team in previous seasons. It is on that position on the car because they had a rear facing onboard camera, looking back from the over the shoulder mounted pod, and the rear wing was fully in frame.

Rhone Poulenc, yes. It is available in lots of places.

Re: Larrousse Lola LC90 sponsor help needed
I think have Rhone-Poulenc engraved in my memory sine it was title sponsor in a MAnsell victory. France GP I guess, but et, honestly, I did not grasp the logo shape at first sight
And yes that´s a great group. The fact people take time to go seeing a hidden book, find a pic and posting an answer is real gold.
