Rider killed
sadly today a rider lost his life after falling during a supersport race as a support event at Phillip Island.
I dont know any information about who it was or what exactly happened because i have only just heard the news... another sad day in the world of motorsport and my condolences go out to the mans family and friends. |

As usual I cannot find any information so far on this. I did hear the end of a channel 10 mention of the incident but I heard no names nor when it happened.

just checked motorcycle news and they dont have anything about about it, think it was a rider named clint farr
 , but dont quote me....watched the bikes all day on foxtel today and they didnt mention one thing - which is strange considering that they showed both 600 supersport races on friday and saturday  comiserations to the riders family, that is an absolute tragedy for australian road racing. |

RIP Clint |

sad day for the Island
Yes, I only heard about it today(Monday 15th). There was not much on the news in Australia at all on the fatality. Another young Australian rider taken from us. My thoughts go to his family and friends.

I noticed that he was mentioned at the start of the 500 race on channel 10 too.
mcnews.com.au should have something official now I believe. |

site found for clinton farr
Hi elphino,
My husband was just looking around the net last night and found a site that was a memorial to young Clinton. He thinks it was on Austar and it had a few details on the incident and also had an area where you could post your condolences to the family and friends of this young man. I hope you find it ok. Sorry I couldn't be much more help on this. Bernie. |

That was most likely mcnews as I received an email from their mailing list saying they would be doing that with an area for condolences which would be passed on to the family.
