The organisers stated: With great sadness, the organisers of the Manx Grand Prix can confirm that Louis O'Regan, 43, has died following injuries sustained in an accident at Kate's Cottage during the opening qualifying session of the 2024 event. Louis, an Irishman who lived in Didcot, England, was an experienced competitor at the Manx Grand Prix having made his debut in the 2013 Newcomers A Race, finishing 12th.
Race organisers issued a statement expressing extended their heartfelt condolences to his family and friends. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Louis's partner Sarah, his family, loved ones, and friends.
The opening session was not restarted following the red-flag incident which happened at the Kate's Cottage corner, approximately 30 miles into the 37-mile race around the island on Sunday.
Last year the Grand Prix, which is due to run until next Monday, was also marred when Gary Vines, 33, and 69-year-old Ian Bainbridge died as a result of separate crashes.
