Congratulations to Allan McNish on his 3rd Le Mans victory. And to Tom Kristensen for his 9th.

Sadly, Allan Simonsen (Denmark) was the first fatality during the race in over 25 years. I have to confess I was surprised it was this long, given (1) the size of the fields, (2) the disparity in speeds between the classes, (3) the fact that many of the drivers are really just gentleman amateurs, (4) the maximum speed down the Mulsanne Straight, (5) the fact that much of the race is run in the dark, and (6) it must be totally exhausting for all involved.

[Paddy]

RIP Allan Simonsen.

Experienced brilliant driver, and a real shame that it looked to be a car fault.
