Mark Neate, No Limits Trackdays director said; "I am so desperately sad that Ben died from the injuries he sustained.

"Ben really was a fantastic young man and friends with so many people in the paddock, he was always smiling and had time for everyone.

"Our thoughts are with his family, his partner Jordan and his team-mates and friends."
