The ACO are obviously trying every trick they know to get publicity for this years race, but why not use the show, much bigger news than yet another lversion of some boring family saloon

I like the new Porsche livery, car looks very fast. Let's hope it gives a good fight.

How much will the Toyota resemble the one on the poster? All we have seen thusfar is some blurry screencaptures. So there are two possibilities:

-ACO has been given some artwork by Toyota and the TS040 will look like this

or

-ACO just has used last year's picture and the real TS040 will look different

I don't like it. I hope the race will be less boring than the poster.

Looks like they used a 2012 picture to me.

The manufacturers don't care about the poster there's no way Toyota would let them reveal their new car.

My biggest surprise is they didn't put the Porsche front and centre.

The Porsche's livery looks just like the livery reveiled this morning.
I remember Toyota on the posters two years ago, in red, so who knows. I liked the red.

There hasn't been a poster with any GT prominence since 2005.

There was a microscopic Porsche in the background last year and a few rear spoilers in 2007. Look again.

My favourite is the 1995 poster, GT2 NSX.

An excellent children's theme park poster, I see no reason to nitpick.

I'm not about to get particularly worked up about it. I dislike the new logo more than the rest of it now I see it in the middle of the poster. But it doesn't really matter that much....

For my money, the 95 poster was one of the worst they did. Up to that point, posters/tickets had photographs - which were much better, IMO.

Yes indeed, but the 1994 looks a bit to 'scaletrix' for me.
