The ACU can confirm that there was an accident at a motorcycle Grasstrack racing event, held by GTSA in Kent on Sunday, 30 June where a competitor sadly lost their life.
There is an ongoing investigation into the circumstances and the family have requested that no footage or pictures of the accident are posted onto social media or sent to them directly.
They thank the Grasstrack community for their support and ask that they are given anonymity and privacy.
