Last night I was shocked to see there are 100's of grandstand seats still for sale on the official site. Is it going to be a quiet one this year?

Combo of weird "super season"/lack of manufacturer LMP1/Brexit/etc?

Can't say I mind too much if more of the yobs stay at home and just the hardcore fans turn up, but I hope it's busy enough to create a good atmosphere. I'm sure the on-track battles will be as memorable as ever.

I missed last year but this time I'm bringing 3 people with me including a first timer - I hope it lives up to his expectations!

For me the lack of a P1 battle is a shame, but I've always preferred the GT cars anyway. If the Astons can carry some form over from Spa and the last of the front-engined Corvettes sound as good as ever then I'll be happy.

I don't want to miss any more Le Mans races, we're on the downhill run towards electrification now so every year before that happens is precious.
