Sorry Guys
 but I have to put my . 02 in here! 
Some people are talking so much rubbish about all this. Arguably the greatest 
motor race in the world is FULL and I mean FULL of cars with all kinds of 
different speed capabilities. From 230mph monsters to 120mph Morgan's. Sure 
accidents do happen, but there seems to be no greater number of incidents in 
that race than in any other type of Motorsports (with those exceptions we 
will not talk about!). For those of you that can see the British FV, FF and 
F3 championships. they have a lot more incidents than any mixed racing I have 
ever seen. This, in my humble opinion, is because of the fact that all the 
cars are so similar in performance!
The first race I mentioned .......... Le Mans! 
BTW in my opinion (I am feeling very opinionated this morning!) most of the 
crashes in that race are due to pilot error (fatigue) or previous 
accident/breakdown debris on the track.

Flame suit on and at the ready gentlemen racers!
