This is tragic, tragic news. I thought it bad enough that we lost young Nic Fairman at Mallory Park recently, but to lose another driver in such a short space of time is horrendous. Losing anyone at anytime is bad enough, but coming so close to Nic's loss makes it even harder to accept.
By the cruelist or ironies, Steve's funeral will take place a little over a week later than Nic's; in the exact same town. We must be doing something wrong here
This is not the time or place to speculate on what happened, there is an investigation going on to decide that, but it seems that Steve Bell's car come together with Daniel Eady on the 7th lap, as they went through Woodcote, making heavy contact with the wall.
The meeting was immediately abandoned as Steve was taken to hospital by ambulance, and Daniel flown by air where he remains in a condition described as 'serious but stable.'
Our thoughts are with the families and friends of those involved, and we wish Daniel the best in his bid to recover from this.
RIP Steve.
