is it just me or does anybody else think that those commentators on eurosport international are a little bit too "funny" for just having a fatality there? |

Yeah, I've seen that video already on youtube. He just took too much curb and lost his rear, spinning into the wall. Such a brutal impact. |

While I agree with your sentiment as I feel absolutely devastated by this myself, I understand them. The race goes on and if I were them I would try and keep doing what I would usually do as well. |

I agree with Stan. The commentators have to get on with their normal job. |

They said "The show must go on" and then kept talking like nothing happened, like Simonsen just retired from the race. |

Quote: A statement from Le Mans organiser the ACO read: "At 15h09 the #95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE, driven by Allan Simonsen of Denmark, exited the track at high-speed at the Tertre Rouge corner on his fourth lap of the race. "The driver was immediately attended on the scene by the doctors from the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's Medical Service. "In a serious condition, Allan Simonsen was transferred immediately to the circuit medical centre, where he died soon after. The ACO will make no further statement until the exact reasons for the accident are determined. http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/108217 |

I saw the accident live, and had just come back on to see how the race was going, and that Simonsen was ok. I can't believe it. It was a huge impact on the wrong side, but I just didn't expect to read anything like that. I can't really get into the race now. RIP Allan.

Our commentators are doing solo reports (a crew of 4 people) and the one that was in a booth just said smth like "we've got bad news..." and continued the broadcast as usual. BTW he's way too emotional with those spins that are happening right now. |

I'm pretty sure that all this will hit very hard tomorrow after the race, or Monday, for all the people who are currently driving/working for teams/officials/maybe even fans... Once everyone is out of their 'Le Mans-zone', it will hit hard. We are not in that zone, so it indeed feels uncomfortable |

But that doesn't mean it is not an uncomfortable feeling. Doesn't help that's it's SPEED's B-Team doing the commentary at this moment. Scott Pruett's nonsense comments just make me grind my teeth. |
