I'm considering some additional decor. And I'm convinced the posters for racing events are an art form in their own rights, much like the poster for a film. I don't mind buying a replica - in fact, I much prefer doing that over paying the high prices I've seen in the NY Times for such posters. I know I've seen them there, too.

Anyway, let's discuss! They can be historical, yes, but I'm not going to rule out contemporary ones, either. They can be for any sort of racing event in any nation, from Le Mans and Monaco to Super GT and IMSA.

I think the art deco-ish(?) ones from the past are easily the classiest and most enduring...but there were some colourful splashy ones from the 1980's-1990's that have an occasional appeal.

I have several old Monaco/Audi/Auto Union style ones stuffed in cardboard somewhere (no room to display currently).

Stuff like this is always easy on the eyes:

My absolute favourite (I may be bias, being an Adelaide native). Always wanted a copy myself, but never got around to it.

I have a bunch, some I made, some I bought/traded for.

This one from Mercedes is probably my favourite:
