I remember when at least half of the Porsche field at Combe were DQ for the same reason.. but it got revoked because of lack of proof... we might be talking about the same event.
There is no excuse, and it's a about time the MSA got tough before there's a nasty accident. |

No I'm thinking of a different series and almost certainly a different clerk but it does go to show that the problems are the same. The MSA or the organising clubs & timekeepers need to work on a system that is affordable (that's likely to be the crunch!) and allows for clear proof of the incident.
Obviously this doesn't apply to overtaking under yellows which is much easier to show, although I do have sympathy with a clerk who is then presented with two drivers who swear that one waved the other one by! |

I know the yellows are precautionery but has no one ever thought about infringing a speed limit whilst going past yellow flags?
I'd just like to say, being on the side of the fence taking photos standing next to marshalls, I think you do a splendid job and reading a dangerous situation and acting on it before anyone else does is a tough job that I don't think I could ever do. Hats off to you |

Thanks Lorna, you're right though it does require a certain mindset

Are you at a Touring Car meeting soon, Marshal? Haven't see you in ages. |

I am actually waiting for a driver to hit one of our Rescue Units, we've had so many near misses over the last couple of years. I bet they'll say they didn't see it! Or the waved yellows or white flag! I'm hoping to get a look at some of the footage of both the Clios and the Caterhams and will be interested to see the flagging and the response!

I don't feel so bad about cutting his car up now!
Aah, who am I kidding, I never felt bad anyway! ;0) |
