In fact I want to see the drivers pushing the cars to the limit, too, want to be as close as possible and for sure there is a risk involved, mainly for the drivers, but also for the spectators.
There were quite a few severe accidents in the recent years, keep in mind Davidson went airborne in the Toyota or McNish's crash. (Maybe one of the reasons he retired)
People had good luck.
To attract the best drivers and manufacturers the ACO has to do all reasonable efforts to reduce risks, whilst maintaining the Le Mans spirit.
Not for the cars - for the drivers, our heroes. And to ensure that manufacturers invest in that event. See Mercedes.
