I find it frustrating because it's symptomatic of a wider problem, which is the inability from the ACO to do any meaningful promotion of what they do. To the outsider, it just looked like a bunch of parked cars with a random track day racer in the background. Hardly gets the pulse racing, does it?
It's never been easier to convey something like Le Mans to a wider audience, and yet still it's an event you kind of have to just 'come across' to get into, in the complete absence of the ACO making any effort to communicate to our friends that this obsession of ours isn't based on nothing...
