I'm so glad I don't bother going there any more. Spent altogether too many days getting steadily wetter, colder and more miserable at Le Mans.

:( Didn't think it looked that bad, but no tyres in front of Armco meant heavy impact and sudden deceleration I guess :(

They said he was talking to medics, but that may have been misinformation

Just saw the odd clips of it, very tragic if true...a very talented driver.

Sadly, it appears it is true.

Only caught a quick glimpse of the accident and haven't heard anything that's been said. I don't suppose anyone's come up with what actually happened yet, it looked very odd.

Nice bit of product placement on that shout of the Corvette in the garage. A bottle of Motul RBF660, just like my VX. :)

Lost it going into Tertre Rouge and was unlucky enough to find the bit of armco that butted up to a tree so didn't give. 

 

I've not been watching it for 11 hours straight... really should go to bed.  :wacko:

i watched the first 8hours pretty much straight, did a bbq in the middle. 

 

A bit of a race on now :D 

 

I admire the 'keep going' attitude of both Aston and the whole race organisation, can't be easy after the early incident.
