Just wondering who is going to be supporting/following who this year.
I will be hoping for-
Lmp1 - Heart says aston martin, head says audi.
Lmp2 - strakka racing.
Gt - 56 bmw.

Also be hoping for a good showing from lotus, the doran ford and the kronos aston.

I'd like Pescarolo to do well and annoy one of the big boys.

Aston Martin to get in front of [some of] the diesel contenders.

I was looking at the entry list again this morning and I hope that evrybody in GTE are going to do well. Some fantastic cars with great names driving so this could lead to good battles. Corvette, 458, 911 and a sprinking of Lotus but I'm less optimistic...

P2 is definitely Strakka Racing for me too; great bunch of people.
GT is, I think, the Evora GTE.
P1 is tricky. I'm going to be cheering Peugeot on for the outright win I think this year, but I'd like to see the Hope Racing hybrid do well.

Audi & AM in LMP1 & #56 BMW in GTE.

Partial to 73 & 74 though - noisy buggers!

Kronos Lola Aston because it sounds the best by miles. I would like to see it compete for fastest petrol.

Flying Lizards for me in GT, always a great bunch of guys...

we picked up one of their retro posters last year on the Friday pitwalk, and when the drivers clocked it on the parade they all made a bee line for it to sign and chat with us....

As I'll be enjoying Audi's hospitality (again) this year, I really have to support them, although I am sooooo glad the Kronos Aston is in, that will sound epic on full throttle at 2am....

Haven't got head around GT classes yet this year.

Like to see the Evora due well... plucky brit car and all that.


I have always found myself supporting audi. Being the big team it is easy to dismiss them, but I like the way they have gone about their le mans effort and believe their success to well deserved.

Would be great to see another ding dong race between them and peugeot. Sharing the lead lap for 24hrs like a couple of years back.

Any British team. People who support the Germans or French cant be trusted and should be shot at dawn. When I say dawn, I mean about ten thirty to eleven when we've had time to get up and have breakfast and a poo.
