A motorcyclist has died during a track day at a Kent motorsports circuit.
Police confirmed the man was involved in a crash at the Lydden Hill Race Circuit near Dover on Saturday afternoon.
Officers are investigating how the collision happened when the rider, a man in his 50s, came off his vehicle on a bend and left the track at about 12.50pm.
The air ambulance was called and paramedic crews rushed to provide treatment for the patient.
But he died at the scene, police confirmed this morning.
The victim was riding a green Kawasaki ZX-10R motorcycle during the incident and his next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers from Kent Police.
Detectives have requested witnesses attending the track day to come forward and help with their inquiries.
They have asked for footage or evidence of the crash to be submitted to the Kent Police evidence submission portal online.
KentOnline has requested comments from both Lydden Hill Race Circuit and the track day operators, No Limit Track Days, about the incident.
The company, founded in 1993, runs track days at the Kent circuit, across Britain and around Europe and claims to be the UK’s “leading provider of bike track days”.
Anyone who witnessed the incident is urged to call the appeal line on 01622 798538 or email [email protected] quoting reference JG/043/24.
