test day poster on ACO's site

I open a new thread, but it may be merged later with another one

seen on ACO's site : the test day poster : Audi!

nice looking anyway

Duffacus · 29 Mar 2004, 17:38 (Ref:923106)

Not surprising!

Does look nice though.

**PascaLM** · 29 Mar 2004, 17:41 (Ref:923112)

Aaaah, It's splendid, isn't it Ayse ?
(At least there is no B2K on it...

)

**Aysedasi** · 29 Mar 2004, 19:04 (Ref:923214)

Oh, jolly splendid indeed.

But I think it ought to have the Spinnaker Clandesteam car on it......

jhansen · 29 Mar 2004, 19:10 (Ref:923224)

I think the poster looks great! I'll have to figure out a way to get one. I'd rather see the Champion Audi there, but oh well. By the way Ayse, never asked, but what makes the Dallara more visually appealing over the Audi? They're both open top LMP's and both are somewhat similar in the overall concepts. Anyways, I like them both.

The poster looks nice
but why didn't they replace the number 1 by 8 or 88 ? (the right numbers for the Veloqx's Audis)

The Badger · 29 Mar 2004, 20:00 (Ref:923264)

Because they have just released the after event picture of the winner . So its going to be the Nishy Audi that wins this year !!!

bernard b · 29 Mar 2004, 20:24 (Ref:923279)

looking at it again, seems to me McNish is going straight into the wall

Fab · 30 Mar 2004, 05:52 (Ref:923589)

Nice, but ther red number is more "�* la Sebring" than "�* la Le Mans"... odd mistake...

And they missed a prefect year to show up other cars - with the Audi... Courage ? Pescarolo ? GTs ?

I guess its just a personal aesthetic thing with me. From the time of the "second generation" 2000 R8, I've never cared much for its looks. A lot of open LMPs look better - a good example being the Courage - particularly in Pesca's colours from last year. Just one of those things, I guess - its just never pressed my button, I suppose.....

**Adam43** · 30 Mar 2004, 10:44 (Ref:923795)

There are no other cars in the background either.

I agree it would have been nice to feature a different car. However isn't it dependent on who pays? Although I think I am basing this back on the tickets and posters back when Nissan had their big push in 1990.

Also, is it me, but I can't find a decent size poster to set as my desktop background

and worse...he could actually be going round the circuit in the wrong direction!

That's it that's it !!! He just span !

Pilgrimage · 31 Mar 2004, 15:57 (Ref:925377)

I expect we will see more cars on the race w/end poster (or the little errors corrected at least).

I really want to wish the drivers themselves all the best, but if parking the Audi into the wall is a serious option, can I sign up for that ?

EliseGT1 · 31 Mar 2004, 19:14 (Ref:925559)

How could they ever place a Pescarolo on the poster.....that would be too obvious, since they already gave them two entries...

PRF · 31 Mar 2004, 21:16 (Ref:925663)

Really good poster. Change from the Bentley's.

I looked for them when I was there last year and never saw one. Where can a person get an actual poster like that?

I think you could ask at the "Welcome" office for press officers... but I'm not sure...

The posters are displayed in the street quite far away from Le Mans in France : Paris, Orléans, Nantes...

**Adam43** · 1 Apr 2004, 07:57 (Ref:926058)

I got one without trying! I think you get them with the program now? Or maybe the ACO pack? If not I reckon most of those stalls that sell the programs have them (?)

Unless we are talking PQ posters? I'm not sure about this.

Liz · 1 Apr 2004, 12:47 (Ref:926287)

I meant the PQ poster. You are right about the race poster which BTW is no longer available free in the race shop.

I think it's a view from the karting curve which is negatively banked. It's very banked on the poster !

bernard b · 8 Apr 2004, 17:40 (Ref:934621)

for those wanting a larger one, here's one, 800x552, from Infocourse

**Aysedasi** · 27 Apr 2004, 12:46 (Ref:953497)

I have a copy. Given to me by Audi Sport UK Team Veloqx (as well as the answer to the numbering question.......

)

Pilgrimage · 27 Apr 2004, 13:09 (Ref:953521)

Go on then - do tell....
