That's a big improvement on last year, ACO remembering their core values.
Or even their mission statement.

That's quite good! Far better than the last few years.
Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

No it isn't. No commer. ;)
If I had all the money I've ever spent on drink, I think on balance, I'd probably spend it on drink.

I think it is a good image for LeMans and the inclusion of the Bentley cements that car as all that was good and is good about the greatest race in the world

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.   No Bentley boy would have stubble.  They took their batmen with them.

Having said that its cool, and a good advert for Volkswagens, and I'm sure they'd have wanted a Porsche too, and I'd have wanted a Jaguar and then it gets cluttered

And proof coverage is on Eurosport

It does need Commerising.  There's an almost biblical light behind the two cars from which it can emerge

No Bentley boy would have stubble. 

That was exactly my thought too. No designer stubble in 1923, plus Duff and Clement came 4th in number 8 in '23.

What's with the clouds? Never, ever put clouds on a poster. It's an invite for bloody rain!

A five out of ten from me. Slightly better than last years abortion.

I'm with him^^^

no bloody clouds please :(

I've had to wait two years, at least those French chaps could have arranged us some all day sunshine for my return.

But a far, far better poster. There's room for the Commer in there I reckon...

What's a Commer?
 ???

Agree with the stubble thing, it jumped off the page at me. A gentleman never has stubble, even during a 24 hour race. Disgusting.
I wouldn't sit there if I were you, it's still a bit wet.

Lucky for the ACO they didn't put a Pug on the poster...
