Within just seconds after the green flag waved for the start of the Quattro Group British Supersport Championship race, 11 bikes were consumed in a horrific accident coming out of Turn 1. Of the 11 riders involved, one currently stands in critical condition, while two others were fatally injured.
The race — part of a support series to the Bennetts British Superbike Championship — happened Monday at Oulton Park. Immediately following the "chain reaction incident" as the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board (MCRCB) and MotorSport Vision Racing (MSVR) called it in their statement, the race was stopped to allow medical services to deploy and aid riders who were involved.
