1983 10, 12 British 500cc Moto GP Silverstone

The race was split into two races. Entering Stowe Corner on Lap 5, Norman Brown s Suzuki slowed with a mechanical problem. The motorcycle stayed to the inside, but was hit by Peter Huber s Suzuki. It was not until the end of Lap 5 that riders began to enter pit lane, as only a yellow and an oil flag was displayed. On Lap 6, officials waved a red flag. Brown died instantly, while Huber was rushed by helicopter to a hospital in Oxford, where he was pronounced dead at the hospital. The race restarted as a split race. The first five completed laps were scored, and the remaining 23 laps were completed shortly after the track was cleared. The total time of the two races combined formed the aggregate time for the results.
