At 11am today, the British Superbike community lined Donington Park's start/finish straight to say a final farewell to Ben Gautrey who passed away following an accident at Cadwell Park two weeks ago.
A procession led by his family, the MWR Kawasaki team and series director Stuart Higgs, plus friends on scooters, did a lap of the circuit as the crowd applauded. BSB commentator Fred Clarke paid tribute to the 18-year-old National Superstock 600 rider, saying 'Ben was the sort of young man anyone would be proud to have as a son.'
