Steve Mercer has settled his claim against the Isle of Man TT organisers out of court, it has emerged, afte﷽r his se𒉰rious injuries six years ago.

TT rider Mercer was allowed to travel back to the grandstand, after a red flag, the wrong way arꦿound the Mountain Course in 2018.

He hit a course car at 100mph, which was travelling in the opposite dirಌection towards the craꦬsh which tragically killed Dan Kneen.

The TT official behind the wheel of the course car, Shaun Counsell, has been in court after making a claim against t𓂃he race organisers ACU Ltd and ACU Events Ltd.

Counse🌞ll is claiming up 🎃to £100,000 for personal injury and losses.

During Counsell’s time in court, it was explained that Mer▨cer has settled his own grievance.

“Proceedings were issued but it was dealt with by way of an out of court 🐷settlement,” the ACU’s advocate Vicki Unsworth was quoted by .

“There was an admission of liability.”

Injuries to Mercer included pelvic and leg issues, a broken ankle, heel♊, vertebrae, a fractured larynx, and neck damage which prevented him breathing without support.

The ACUꦦ’s advocate admitted an “error on the part of the marshal” w🦋ho released the drivers.

Counsell, ꧃meanwhile, has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety after the incident, the court was told.

Counsell’s claim is: “The claimant proceeded to the red fla🌊g incident 💦travelling in the direction of the course.

“After Ballaugh Bridge, on the approach to Ballacrye, without warning an unexpectedly, four competitors passed the claimant’s vehicle on the left hand sid꧟e.

“The racers were travelling ༒at speed in the opposite direction of the course.

“The cl♍aimant attempted to reduce his speed and manoeuvr🙈e his vehicle out of racing lines over to the right hand side.

“As the claimant reache♏d his radio, which was fastened to his chest, to contact Race Control, 𝔉a fifth competitor, Steve Mercer, collided head on with the front of the claimant’s vehicle.

“This incident happened in a matter of seconds.

“The claimant exited the vehꦗicle and ran to where Mr 💛Mercer had landed to provide emergency first aid treatment.

“The claimꦰant carried his medical box with him to Mr Mercer and removed his helmet to secure his airway.

“Another compet🐈itor and a police sergeant assisted in treating Mr Mercer🌠.”

Counsell is quoted as🎃 saying: “Had it not been for my actions that day, Mr๊ Mercer would not be here today.

“There were thr🍬ee radios in the car, all they had to do was shout down the radio and I would have stopped immediately. They 🐻had time. I know they had time.

“Had that happened Mr Merce🌠r would not have sustained life-changing🃏 injuries.”

The ACU argue that Counsell’s claim was made six months later. Claims must be made within t🙈hree years of knowledge of an injury.

The ACU ordered an internal investigation a🍸fter the 2018 accident.

It led to 🦄major changes with the organisation of the TT.

But 🎃neither Mercer nor Counsell have ever 🦹seen the report.
