I like Toyota Gazoo Racing, but Glickenhaus Racing is the underdog, plus go USA.

GTE Pro field is slim, the Corvettes didn't get to show up last year so I hope they get it.

Otherwise I like Aston Martins, so I hope one of them takes the GTE Am category. Ben Keating is driving with TF Sport, he should've already had "Le Mans winner" by his name.

I don't keep up nearly enough with LMP2.

Yeah I'm excited to see how Glickenhaus performs, too.

Gotta put some money on Alpine, because a French car at Le Mans with the ACO setting the rules? How can it lose? ;)

Anyone know details of the Garage 56 entry? It's "ASSOCIATION SRT41", which made me laugh a little bit.

Ah, looks like it's a team of disabled drivers. That's pretty cool.

Glickenhaus for hyper car all the way. Ben Keating and TF Sport in GT Am. LMP2 may be more entertaining but I don't really have favorites there or GT Pro.

Drivers? Not sure yet. Cars? None. I just cant get behind those ugly things. I just can't.

Yawning.
Cars and classes are so far removed from my reality that I lost all interest many years ago.
"Hybrid" is the final straw.
Maybe next year they can remove the drivers too and just make it a contest between programmers and AI?

What's up with the GTE Pro being so slim? Always enjoyed those guys the most.

Even though I'm a Honda guy, I always root for the Corvettes. Even when there's actually Honda's in the running...

I am hoping Glickenhaus can pull something good out of the race. I have been a fan of Mr. Long since the Flying Lizard days but Keating deserves a win so that will be tough.
