Le Mans 2019: The team by team guide

The grand finale of the World Endurance Championship superseason is imminent. Here is our guide to the entire field, and our predictions for how they might all fare

The long build-up, the official test day, practice and qualifying are over, the 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours is about to begin - and it will be the grand finale of the first World Endurance Championship superseason.

This season is his 33rd as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 80 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.
