Club Arnage

Spotted the official poster has been published by the ACO, very poor, obviously no expence spared with the design department >:(

Looks like it was designed by the temp or even the tea lady  :(

I've got better pictures of The Stranglers than that!

Quite disgusting...

The worst official LM poster I have ever seen - and I have seen a few!

Got to admit, that one is pretty lame, even by ACO standards.  They need to take a look at what Sebring does and commision a racing artist (Michael or Graham Turner, Nick Watts, Roger Warwick, etc) to do the art.  The Michael Turner-Watkins Glen posters are still hugely collectable.  I have an original 1971 Glen Six-Hours & Can-Am poster hanging in our house.

True, but there is room for the Commer under the the Dunlop Bridge, and hiding at the back of the stage

Gotta say thats tom tit :(  and its taken them 8 months to come up with that ???????? must be the credit crunch effect

Like Fax says. I guess we could have provided some pics of one of the Friday parties from back in the days we were still allowed on MB, or maybe even something around the Dunlop Bridge area with a PooBar party to blend into the background. At least on the other side of the pond they understand; by the fans, for the fans.

Toopid Frensh :-\

Well, maybe they should have left the campings the way they were; with fans on it, instead of empty Peugeot tents...

like this.............

Now that's what I call equivilant photoshopping! Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth!! ;D

That sucks pole. The ACO has lost whatever plot they once had. My local drag strip's promo materials are 100% better than that thrown-together crap.

now now. it's not that bad, actually thats a whole lot of designing going on. quite balanced.

... but made by a designer who has no feel for the event at all, just done as an academic piece.

Pretty poor photo selection as well. ...ok it sucks. but I still think I'd like one.

(and I'm a designer!)

OR ME! how 'bout me?   ???  -Lee

Can't hide it, it's pants. Also, just a tad too much Peugeot perhaps????

I think I'll just keep on collecting the Flying Lizards posters instead. Last year's looks particularly good when framed and hanging in my hallway......

At least they may have moved the fairground back to where it belongs.

Last year there was only the bungee jump and Ferris wheel.  I remember go karts, dodgems, wall of death, vast machines that took you up in the air and shook you till you vomitted, shotguns, strippers, all sorts of things, and all long gone.  Shame really - bring back the snake lady

keep thinking, someone should send them a copy of Sebring poster and show then how it should be done properly!

Ugly as hell ...

It's teh worst poster I've seen since I go to Le Mans - and that means since 1985! If many of us write to the ACO about it - may be this will help for next year

It's a joke right?

What a pathetic effort.  I could do better than that and I have no talent in that area.

And the village had some character, also you could turn up on a Friday and still get a good place to camp, cold water showers, urinals on the ouside of the washroom.... some good memories some not so good but the 80's were great for the spectator.

Spot on.

I remember the communal sinks in Houx (just like in The Great Escape) No plugs and they still overflowed.  You could survive all this for a few days, but you seemed closer, more attached to it all.  You could wander around the paddock at all sorts of strange times before the race to see them working on the cars (the old pits were too small)  We climbed over a 6 foot wall to get in only to find half a dozen Gendarmes pissing themselves with laughter, not the response we expected, then one of them pointed to an open gate 10 foot further down.

It can only get worse [/old git mode off]

What a pathetic effort. Apart from the date, everything advertises last years race. As long as I can remember the poster has had pictures of the cars in the coming race. Talk about milking the Pug victory. Still, make the most of it frogs, the Aston's gonna wup yo ass this year.
