It is with the deepest regret to announce the sad news that Matthew Polanski (aged 30 from Cardenden, Fife) succumbed to injuries sustained during a Knockhill Motor Sports Club Pre-Injection 600 race at Knockhill on Sunday 4th August.
Knockhill Racing Circuit, CEO, Derek Butcher commented:
“It’s a very sad day for everyone connected with Knockhill and the wider Scottish racing community. Matt and the whole Polanski family were very popular in the race paddock. We offer our sincere condolences to Matt’s wife Jill, daughter Bethany and the entire Polanski family at this very difficult time. Everyone involved is taking some comfort from the knowledge that Matt will be helping others after Jill and Beth bravely arranged organ donation with the transplant team at Ninewells Hospital.”
Knockhill Motor Sport Club President and three times British Superbike champion Niall Mackenzie added: “Words cannot describe how sad everyone is at the Club after we lost Matt at the weekend. He’ll always be remembered as a great racer. My thoughts are with Matt’s friends and family as this sad time”.
