Police and Anglesey County council are investigating the death of a motorcyclist, who died at one of Anglesey's premier tourist attractions last Saturday.
On Monday, the dead motorcyclist was named as Paul Alan Shaw, 41 of Wigan.
An inquest into his death has been opened and adjourned by the coroner's office.
Mr Shaw was taking part in a track day at the Anglesey circuit near Rhosneigr when he fell and crashed his bike, a second motorcyclist then collided with him.
A teenage biker, believed to be from North Wales was flown to Ysbyty Gwynedd but was later released having suffered only minor injuries.
Ambulance crews and the Air Ambulance were on the scene within minutes but could do nothing to save Mr Shaw, who sustained traumatic injuries.
A Police spokeswoman said that they would be helping Anglesey County council investigate the incident for Health and Safety purposes.
Part of the investigation will concentrate on whether the rider had a heart attack or seizure during the race.
The track day was organised by Sussex based Focused Events, which runs runs track and off-road events in the UK and France.
