There is a 'Le Mans Preview' mini-magazine in with this month's Motorsport magazine (received my subscribers copy yesterday).

Not sure if they've done one before.

What do you think the chances are, that the more likely main headline on autosport.com on

THURSDAY EVENING is
"Follow Le Mans qualifying live" versus "Hamilton believes Red Bull will be strong at Baku" (or whatever)

FRIDAY EVENING is
"X on pole position for Le Mans 24 Hours" versus "X leads inaugural exciting Baku GP practice"

SATURDAY EVENING is
"X leads Le Mans into evening hours "X takes thrilling inaugurate Baku GP pole"

SUNDAY EVENING is
"X wins Le Mans" versus "X conquers chaotic inaugural Baku GP"

MONDAY EVENING IS
"Analysis: How X won Le Mans" versus "Analysis: How X took dramatic Baku GP win"

I ask this every year, and now is time again... what are the teams you are actually following / supporting / wanting success to at LM?

Me:

LMP1

Obviously Rebellions (by mile over the entire grid altogether) are my number one priority, followed by Kolles in distant second, but regardless of course I'm very much invested in what the factories do and have nothing against any of them succeeding. It's pretty much the only class in the world where I have interest for every participant and what they achieve. So I answer, every team with Rebellion at the front?

LMP2
1) Shank (yeah really)
2) Pegasus (the little team that could)
3) Manor (the ultimate F1-WEC comparison team)
4) Algarve Pro (little team that could II)
5) ESM (mainly because they might potentially get triple this year by winning LM - and perhaps even more later at PLM)
Those are top notch in the following list. Some others are also moderately interesting, like Murphy maybe breaking their horrible Le Mans luck, SMP possibly making fun of the new spec rules by achieving something, Panis-Barthez with the driver linkup, TDS with the Rebellion linkup, but generally there are also many teams I don't have much buzz one way or another. As in they're just there as blank faces. Don't strictly dislike anyone, however the fake "Alpine" linkup is annoying especially if their affiliated team ended up winning and you heard all about it.

LMGTE-PRO
Risi. Kinda. In a way.
Factory Corvettes. Kinda. In a way.
Others don't particularly care and Astons hate.

LMGTE-AM
AAI. Kinda. In a way
Others don't particularly care and Astons hate.

I reckon 70-80% that Le Mans will be given precedence. 100% if Toyota, the #1 Porsche or a Rebellion wins.

I suspect LM for Wed to Thu but F1 for Fri to Mon

Sun night LM only if the winner isn' factory car. I don't think Webber would be enough to overtake the Mercedes/whatever parade

My first Le Mans. I'll always remember it fondly.

Peugeot's swansong, Aston's LMP1 joke, Pescarolo, the first GT Academy entrant, debut of the 458, BMW, Lotus Evoras, Michael Waltrip, Lizards. And one hell of a race!

As we all know there is a real burning passion for football on this forum.

I know in particular CTD was wondering just how many Euro 2016 games he could watch without it clashing with the racing

Assuming it's up on big screens in the village again these guides could be quite useful. I can stand to miss a couple of support sessions in order to watch England draw 1-1 with Wales.

Probably would've watched.
