As the title says guys.
1. Toyota really pushing Audi this year. They looked really quick the end of last season.
2. The GT battles. Always entertaining.
3. Hopefully the return of the vipers if they get entry.

Instead of Toyota pushing Audi, I really hope they win!

I'll cheer for anything which has a union jack on it.

I usually find an underdog and support them for the weekend.

I'll be there hoping Toyota can make it stick. They've done exceptionally well in the WEC in 2012 and as long as they can keep from flying through the air into a barrier at mach 3, I think a win is possible.

Other teams I'll be rooting for are Strakka, Craft racing AMR and BMW teams (If there are any).

Very interested to see how this Green machine works too. Will they get the crowd behind them like the Deltawing? I think no, but I'd still like to see them do well.

Unfortunetly the Green machine wont have anything like Nissans marketing machine behind it so it will be a lot more low key.

A whole swarm of Astons will be good to see.

No mate, the team delicacy is reserved for mergues! Steak hache baguettes are the manky burgers sold every 500m at the circuit.....it is not that great when your sober but my god after 7-8 stubbies they are ACE lick

1) Audi & Toyota taking it down to the wire, no holds barred, similar to 2011
2) The return of the Dodge Viper (pretty likely I think)
3) Lamborghini support race (50th anniversary this year & I have my fingers crossed)
4) Finally getting down to Arnage for night practice on Thursday after 2 years of saying I would

Like everyone else

1). Proper battle at the front.
2). Morgans* in LMP2 - Come on you Malverners**.
3). Sunrise on the pit straight - took a regrettable nap break last time.

Arnage is a great place to watch night practice/quali, above the pits is also a great place to watch from

I last went in 2008 and sunburn was the order of the day. Hopefully I'll be bringing the sunshine with me again (But not falling asleep in it this time).

On the other side of the coin, no Flying Lizards to support this year: big shame!
