Silverstone WEC Round 1 - Poster and 'Blurb'
I've just seen the Poster for the WEC Round 1 at Silverstone...It features #20 Porsche 919 coming out of a Union Jack background with #98 Aston Martin.
As a Graphic Artist I'm unimpressed...we all know that Silverstone is Britain...so why does it need a Union Flag? Okay an Aston Martin...but why a Porsche LMP1 when the Toyota won the World Championship title with a British driver who has raced at Silverstone since he was a 9yr old Karter, as a Formula Fordster, a Formula 3 driver, and Formula One driver and a winner of one of the most exciting 6 hour races there when his Peugoet 908 passed McNish's Audi to take the lead and win in 2009!
The Marketing blurb boasts 200 racing drivers...Naming Mark Webber, an Actor and someone else I forget the name of...but no mention of Britain's World Champion! As a racing father I'm totally unimpressed Silverstone!
