Sad News Of Bsb's Ben Godfrey's Death

Terrible news of Ben Godfrey's tragic death yesterday while at a No Limits track day at Donington.
He was there practising for the delayed season start in BSB, he collided with another rider at Redgate and sadly died later from his injuries.
My thoughts & sympathies go out to Ben's family & friends.

I must admit Wessa you really don't expect it on a track day.
I don't know much detail about the accident, I understand he collided with another rider at Redgate.
With No Limits now if you turn up with a race licence you are going in the advanced group, as I explained to them when I did Brands earlier in the year, just because I got a race race licence doesn't mean I am fast, but under NL current rules had I attended Donington yesterday I would have been in the same group as him, not sure that is a good thing?

 

Hey mate, I am not saying that is what happened in this case, I wasn't there, it was just an observation that very different levels of riders can be out at the same time.
My first ever ride on last years Bandit race bike (all of 70 bhp & handled like a shopping trolley) was at Brands, I was in advanced group was all racers & had 1000cc Superbikes out with me as well as a few very quick 600 supersport guys, it was the most intimidated I have ever felt on the track!
