Crazy start to race 3 at Snetterton today Hunter Abbott rolls his car hiting a camera stand which sent it tumbling brave camera man carried on filming.
Then tumbled with his stand.

I'm an F1 fan but love FIA GT Racing as well that and the Touring cars should get far more TV coverage they are much more exciting races.

Sad News I'm afraid. RIP Ben Godfrey. As a big BTCC fan and big Moto GP fan. I've visited many UK Circuits. Donnington a few times. Unfortunately during a no limits event at the weekend Ben crashed his bike when in contact with another. Medical help on scene straight away couldn't save him. A talented British superbike Rider. At 25 it's no age. Dark day for Motorsport. 🙏 www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-leicestershire-53134059

Very sad news RIP. Used to ride but gave up about 10 years ago, lost a number of friends and wasn’t worth it anymore

I'm a big British and World Superbike fan. I also used to work in the sport from 1988 to 2002. I have seen too many riders seriously injured or sadly killed, particularly at the IOM TT, and hearing of Ben Godfrey's death has just further reminded me of how dangerous the sport is and how many of my friends and acquaintances have lost their lives doing something that they loved.
He was a talented young rider and it is sad news indeed.
RIP Young Man

I used to love BTCC and F1 as a kid. But BTCC became too sanitised, and I lost interest in watching live F1 too. Nigel Mansell was my childhood hero, and I hated Tiff Needell for booting Mansell into a bridge in one of the off-season BTCC races. I loved the Volvo estates, Tarquini in the Alfa Romeo, and Leslie and Reid in the Nissan Primeras. I had three trips to Oulton Park for BTCC and camped over once. Wandering the car parks, especially seeing TVRs, was fun too.
I'll probably head to Oulton Park for BTCC again at some point.
RIP Ben Godfrey.
