    This is just such sad news, my heart goes out to Avril and the kids and of course his mum and dad. What a fantastic racer...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    RIP. What a crying shame that so many of our talented young men are lost in the pursuance of this very dangerous sport.

    tragic that he'd been racing into his early 40's and then dying like this.So many great racers lost and it's also easy to see how addictive it must be.Sympathy to his family.

    Wee bit off topic but an 18 year old from Merseyside also died after a crash at Cadwell Park to-day
