Fanboys/girls of which P1 team?
It's usually clear which LMP1 team the posters here at Ten Tenths support the most, even to the stage where you can sense clear rose glassed fandom at times (nothing wrong with that though!), but just for the fun of it, you can tell your personal allegiance here in public If you have one in the first place, of course!

You should've made "Anyone but Audi" an option... though Porsche are quickly becoming the over-dog these days, so my sympathies are shifting towards Toyota.

Really depends on the visual appeal of the cars from year to year. I like Audi when they have a good looking car like they did in 2011 - 2013 and 2015. But their 2014 and 2016 versions are hideous.
Porsche is fine but there paint scheme this year really stinks. I have never found the Toyota an appealing car ever. Rebellion is fine but that car is essentially an Oreca 04. |

That's Toyota and Porsche as well then!
Well in the family we have one of each of the main manufacturers. I have personal or professional connections to all too. I don't own a Rebellion or, er, CLM, but happy for the privateer to do well. |

Audi. Statistically unsurprising in the mid 2000's, they won the first 3 races I attended. Truth in 24 was my go to background noise in college when it came out.
I try to keep it down and not let fanboi emotions control me, but I always smile when they win, and I appreciate when they're given a strong fight and don't steam roll the race. |

Fanboys/girls of which P1 team?
Porsche are my P1 team mainly because of 'our Mark Webber'. Go get em Pottsie!
I'm also love both our P1 privateers. Aussies love an underdog and I'm no exception. |

Toyota in the WEC and Mazda in IMSA. I don't like the term 'team fanboy', because I'm a fan of lmp1 in general. Even when Toyota wasn't there I watched and rooted for Aston Martin and sometimes Peugeot. Mainly support Toyota because they were the cars that lasted and of course I desired growing up (MRS, Supra) along with the Mazda (RX7).

Porsche through and through. Dad started having Porsche's before I was born and had many throughout his life and so I grew up with a much more "important" big brother in the household.
Dad competed in hill climbs and rallies (always with a Porsche) and so as far back as I can remember, I have always been a Porsche and in particular a Porsche Motorsport fan. |

Well, my ID tells all the story.😉 Probably the best outfit ever in Le Mans history? Not sure if there's any team that can beat Joest's devotion to sportscar.

"Right on, he's a Porsche guy then" was my first thought, then I remembered... they have been running the Audi team for the last 20 years or so...

Audi. But my very very close second is Porsche and Rebellion.

If you cut me open it says PORSCHE inside. I used to work as a race engineer and have engineered porsches to podiums and victories in all the major endurance races and all the major championships in europe and the usa. Now I tend to support the turbo cars at the sharp end - and of course porsche regardless if they win or lose.

With respect to various marques, I identify first with Porsche then Honda. So I am fan of the current Porsche effort. I like endurance racing and between the prototypes, GT cars and those two marques I have always found someone to cheer for. I also enjoy the history of Porsche, mid-engine cars and have been doing a resto-mod (slowly) on a Porsche 914 over a number of years.
Haha, that is a good one! I can appreciate that. Richard |

I'm fan of German engineering in general. Audi comes first, then Porsche. I hated Peugeot and have no sympathy for Toyota.

I just love the entire category. The cars we're seeing right now are, in my opinion, the most spectacular modern racing cars. F1 just look like toy cars next to these spaceships.
I love the underdogs too, but I wish they'd get a bit more competitive. Some more privateers would be very welcome too. |

I have loved Le Mans as far as I can remember. I can remember seeing the traditional Le Mans start on tv in black & white on my parents 19 inch tv screen. And the porsche 917 win ... However, being Danish, I am a huge TK fan and as such ending up being an Audi fan. Last year, I had decided to skip Audi, but once I was there at the circuit de la Sarthe, it felt wrong to be anything but an Audi fan. But I am not a fan of the Lotterer crew and I don't see the Duval crew as a winning team, even though I have huge respect for the speed of Duval. Remember him in the Oreca Peugeot? So this year, I had decide to cheer for the Toyotas. But 2 weeks ago I bought an Audi A6, and can you go to Le Mans in an Audi and hope for a Toyota win? Haven't decided yet

I've always had an affinity towards Porsche, but love the whole category too. I started following motorsport seriously, when the 917's came along, but have always loved the innovation and passion that all the manufacturers and teams have brought to the table over the years. I know we've had Audi overload over the last decade or so, but I hold them in the highest regard too. Watching them in action, has been poetry in motion. The category in general, is in great condition atm. Even Peugeot were great to watch. They played the bad guys, well. |
