Mark Purslow Killed at Isle of Man


Mark Purslow was killed on the Isle of Man during the fourth qualifying session.  He was on his third lap and had just completed his fastest lap ever over the mountain course at 120.86 mph.  The accident happened at Ballagarey.

Mark grew up around racing and was inspired by his father's love of the sport.  He typified the spirit of the privateer racer, preparing his own machinery with the help of friends and family.
Road racing was his passion- competing in Northern Ireland and Europe- but becoming a TT racer was a life's ambition that represented the ultimate personal goal.

He was riding a 2021 Yamaha YZF-R6 and racing for the team NEVER BE CLEVER RACING.

Mark was only 29 years old....................
