No, of course it's not funny - I met Roland Ratzenburger at Le Mans not long
before he died (at the same race as Senna, which is often forgotten) and it
upset me greatly..... but a lot of people do watch for the 'incidents'....
makes a change from discussing databases on a Sunday, anyway. Karts may be
fun, but I like the strategy and long term thought of a 24 hour race - but
then again I like test cricket... (ducks a barrage of snoring ;-)
