Great stats.
BTW: Over the weekend I saw this brilliant documentary on BBC4. It’s about the 1955 Le Mans disaster and it really does make you think about whom if anybody was to blame for the crash, and just how far we have come in terms of safety in motorsport.

Unfortunately I can’t watch it there, BBC won’t let it be shown overseas, but I will try and check it out elsewhere, thanks for letting me know.
