One thing that was very evident to me when watching N24 after Le Mans is that the more dangerous and punishing track resulted in greatly higher driving standards. Even the thought of going a small off, brushing a wall and having a puncture to then struggle to the pits for 20km resulted in far less silliness then we've seen at Le Mans. The accidents that happened at N24 were really freak accidents due to misunderstandings or tiny mistakes. At LM some drivers were really pushing their luck too much.
Some accidents happen exactly because racing isn't seen to be as dangerous as before.
