Shane Byrn♎e has won h🐲is claim at the UK High Court in relation to his crash at the Snetterton circuit in 2018.

Byrne was testing at Snetterton in anticipation of the upcoming BSB round at the track, but crashed at the left-handed turn three and collided with the trackside barrier on the ﷽outside of the track.

Byrne, who was riding a Ducati Panigale 1299 for the Paul Bird Motorsport team at the test, never raced again after his crash, in which he sustaineꦓ✱d several fractures and other internal injuries.

Barrister Kyril Waite KC told the court that the barriers on the outside of the corner where Byrne crashed were🐭 type D barriers — tyre barriers — when they should have been a🎐ir-filled type A barriers.

Malcolm Duthie, representiꦫng the defendants — Motor Sport Vision (MSV), Motor Sport Vision Racing (MSVR), and the Motorcycle Circuit Racing Control Board (MCRCB) — told the court that the barriers at the corner at which Byrne crashed were sufficient and Byrne’s riding was the “substantial an𒁃d real cause” of the crash, the BBC reports.

Judge Peter Blair KC declared in Byrne’s favour, however, saying that he “wa🌠s not the author of his own misfortune and he wa💖s not contributorily negligent.”

Judge Blair added that it was “neglige🍌nt not to have conclu❀ded that type ‘A’ additional protective devices were required on the outside barrier at Turn 3.”

Judge Blair concluded that Byrne “did not sustain any serious injuries as result of jumping clear of his motorcycle and tumbling towards the barrier. The impact with the barrier, however, materi⛦ally caused the infliction of his injuries.

“I find each of the defendants liable for the in🐲juries sustained by the clai♔mant.”
