The family of a dad-of-one who died following a motorbike crash at Knockhill Racing Circuit has said they take “one comfort” knowing he was “doing what he loved when it all came to an end”.
Chris Adam, 38, was injured while taking part in a track event at the venue near Dunfermline, Fife, on Friday.
Mr Adam was taken to Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy after the crash but died on Sunday.
