Whilst first mentioned by Sprinty in the Oak Racing thread, I just wanted to express my shock and sadness at the death of Allen Simonsen at the Le Mans 24 Hour.
Driving an Aston, the accident happened at Tertre Rouge. That location is particular poignant as many a Morgan driver visiting the 24 Hour has met at the bar at Tertre Rouge at midnight on the Saturday. It became a bit of a tradition.

His family wished for the team to continue. Kristensen's win was emotionally very apt.
The best and worst of motor racing.
