BTW, you can't look up the race under "Le Mans" with Comcast if you're looking to record. For some reason it's in their guide as just "Auto Racing."

Very sad indeed. First fatality at LM in 16 years. Wonder what happened. Looks like he just drove off into the wall.

Terrible news. Crashes can be so deceiving. This one looks totally survivable, others that looked worse, people walk away. 34 is far too young.
