Now we know whos been going and since when, could I ask what is everyones favourite car, you can only choose ones you have seen in the flesh at the race though.
I'll start, it has to be the Rothmans Porches for me.
And the one you dislike the most, easy the bloody noisy Mazdas !!

Hmmm, does it have to have raced? My favourite was the Jaguar XJR-14 but they were withdrawn  Otherwise for sentimental reasons it would be the XJR-9s. My second year at LM  My least liked, the Peugeot 905s |

My favourite could well be last years Morgans, absolutely fantastic and what LM is all about for me, chocks away old chap.
My favourite big budget team is Panoz, saw big dirty don panoz at the 'poo bar about 3 years ago, and his cars always make teh best noise. & i did like the cadillacs of, '99/2000 was it??
Least favourite, sorry to say it has to be the most successful, the Audi, has that boring teutonic factor which fails to excite me, like the Ferrari F1 team of late.

I would also like to add, that in recent years due to their team perseverance and fan loyalty and friendliness, I have become a fan of the Racing for Holland Domes |

For me the 936 'Moby Dick' was an awesome car. Just wish I'd had the opertunity to see the 917. :-)

Mazdas for the Scream, Mercs for the ground shaking rumble, Bentley for the looks, but standind behind the winning Jag in the pit lane in 1988 brought tears to my eyes  |

Oh and least liked, Porsche domination in the 956/962 unless Derek was driving, and Audi domination.

Best of all had to be the Porsche 917 short tail - a venomous monster crewed by heroes. More recently though I was a bit partial to the rib shaking McLaren F1.

I like the Domes too, but from history I liked the "I want Porsche to win Le Mans Michael!" Porkers and the Silk Cut Jags. And because I drive a midget, the old Le Mans fifties and sixties Brit Sports cars, all of 'em... Great cars!  bill |

Mine would have to be the XJR-9's, but technically i only saw them race before the main event in last years classic/legends race.
In the actual race my fave car that i've actually seen would have to be the......... Bentley or the TVR's! Both gorgeous cars!

I'm rather partial to the Viper GTS cars, and I agree about the McLaren. Also the Porsche GT1 was rather splendid.

I think I would have to go with the Renown Mazda from my early days, the Toyota GT1 from the middle and lately it has to be the Bentley.... but that may well be replaced with the Aston after this year.

Always liked the Mazda 787B since it won on my first trip to Le Mans. Great striking colour scheme.
Least favourite WR Peugeots.
