Well Allan Simonsen's incident, which I am sure this thread is stemming from, was essentially a freak accident. He lost control of the car out of Tertre Rouge and overcorrected into the barrier. However, his life could have been saved if there was a substantial tire bundle there, I think. Just tragic...
But the gravel thing is a pet peeve of mine as well. It seems as though the Le Mans organizers are simply too lazy to fix simple problems like that.
I dunno...
