Out tomorrow, but if it is any thing like last years you would be better off downloading our own guide

Just print off Werners Bible, it's far more informative than the Autosport tosh will ever be.

Look I know it is always pretty much the same, but going to the news agents on the Thursday before to pick Autosport (the only issue I buy during the year) is very much part of the ritual - its tradition, and marks the official launch of the Team Monkey trip.  Agreed, it's part of the week before LM ritual, like cutting the grass before you go, and getting the 'stay cooler' haircut. |

Just picked up my copy. Again the same old stuff, all the usefull stuff is at the back now with autosport ads plastered in between. The spotters guide is always helpful though. It is indeed part of le mans.

Yep, biught mine today, it just seemed like one of those things that had to be done. However, it isn't a touch on the CA Le Mans (not only) For Dummies Guide!! |

I picked this up at Pistonheads and don't know if it's true. Somebody claimed that Autosport don't support Radio LM any longer. If that's true then it's a good reason not to buy the mag this year. Some of the content seems to be wrong (driver mix up) and old anyway.

Autosport no longer sponsors Radio Le Mans. True.
Autosport is not worth buying. True.

Autosport only gives a rats-ass about F1 anymore so its no surprise to see them make a mess of the LM guide. KPY, the magazine that always had a great LM guide was Sport Auto. I've still got a bunch of the them from the late seventies and early eighties.

is the "old" content recent? ie one or two weeks old? it's likely the autosport advertising guide was printed sometime ago |

No idea. You have to buy it to find out and tell us. Go on then... I'll stick to the CA guide. |

I bought it, and concur. The Autosport guide is a big pile of j arthur rank.
Or sherman tank
Or anything else that rhymes with anchor without the hor at the end, and a w at the beginning.
