Forget the lmp cars. The GTE cars was the most exciting spectacle. I was fortunate to attend the race. The new factory 911 GTE car sounded the best of the whole field. Followed by the Corvette and the Astons. The Ferrari 488 did not impress me with its sound. And they used to howl which would make your hair standup.

The GTE cars battled right to the end. Great race LMP not so much so.

I've been going to Le Mans for the last 15 years or so and I had the impression that the crowds were smaller than previous years. A lot of the vendors, which I've seen every year, were not pressent. It might be just a dip but the WEC and the ACO have some work to do.
