An untimely reminder of the dangers of motor racing
Saturday, July 31, 2021
However, it sadly transpires that during one of this afternoon’s races, a serious incident took place at Paddock Hill Bend during one of the support races when a race car left the racetrack and impacted with manned circuit infrastructure.
We don’t know the circumstances of the incident, nor the existent of the injuries received but the race meeting was abandoned as a result this and the extent of barrier damage as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all those involved as well as the friends and family of those involved.
Like always, there would not be any racing if it wasn’t for the unselfish actions of the men and women of the many race marshalling clubs of the world, each volunteering their time for the safety and benefit of others.
