We are sharing the following official statement from 243 Road Racing Association regarding the tragic passing of competitor Aran Sadler yesterday.

Aran was an ever-present competitor and very much part of our paddock family. Our thoughts remain with his partner Lorna and Aran’s family. We hope they feel the support of everyone in the Oliver’s Mount community surrounding them at this time.

Official Statement — 243 Road Racing Association Spring Cup, Oliver’s Mount — 12 April 2026

It is with profound sadness that the 243 Road Racing Association confirms the passing of competitor Aran Sadler, following an incident in SuperSport A Race 1 during yesterday’s Spring Cup Races at Oliver’s Mount, Scarborough.

The incident was attended to immediately and treated by on-site medical personnel. Aran unfortunately succumbed to his injuries and passed away at the scene. The relevant authorities have been notified.

Aran was a tremendously popular member of our paddock community and a champion several times over at Oliver’s Mount. He will be deeply missed by everyone who knew him and raced alongside him.

Our thoughts are entirely with Aran’s family and his partner Lorna at this devastating time.

After consulting with Aran’s family, racing has continued today. We ask everyone — in the paddock and in the grandstands — to keep Aran in their thoughts and to continue the consideration shown to his family and friends throughout the weekend to date.

We are grateful to everyone who showed patience and respect in waiting for this official statement. It means a great deal to Aran’s family and to us.
