Owen Jenner, 21, and Shane Richardson, 29, sustained fatal injuries after a pile-up at the first corner of the race at Oulton Park in Cheshire.

Jenner, from Crowborough in East Sussex, was treated at trackside but died of a head injury despite further resuscitation treatment at the circuit’s medical centre. Richardson, from Wainuiomata in New Zealand, was also treated at the course before being transferred to Royal Stoke University Hospital with severe chest injuries. He died before arrival.
