Donington Britcar - 13th April
I've just seen the Timetable for this:
MSA British Endurance Championship Warm up: 09.15 - 09.45 Various other practices and races, a gap of give or take 30 minutes between the end of the the first race and the start of the second Finishing up with: MSA British Endurance Championship Race: 16.40 / 19.40 HoHum that's a long old day Glad I'm elsewhere |

There's a timetabled hour for lunch, though, so it's not all bad.

Ridiculous timetable.

To be fair, it has been known for a reasonable length of time (from memory, the BARC volunteering forms sent out in Jan specified this) and the timetable has been in circulation for a couple of months, which means people have the opportunity to decide whether this meeting is for them or to make alternative arrangements. Personally, it is a bit too late for me, so will be at Silverstone.

However I would say it is a good idea to try to find out finish times at Donington when/before volunteering. |

Good point. The 360 event on August 4th will have a similar late finish, but we will be 'rewarding' Marshals. |

Not really
Race 1 finishes @ 12:55, so by the time the last car has taken the flag and done another lap to get back into the Pits, and then the Course Car goes round that'll be past 1 o'clock. Race 2 starts @ 13:55 so you'll have to be on post by at least 13:40, if not earlier, so suddenly the lunch time isn't as long as it looks on paper. Made even worse if you've had an incident on your post that needs clearing up. In the afternoon the 3 races have a gap of 15 minutes between one finishing and the next one starting, no room for error eh? |

*sigh* 'twas ever thus. I like Donington as a circuit, but it's many years since it got removed from my list of places I was prepared to marshal. Every year I get told it's changed and every year we get a thread like this. Guess I won't be back in a hurry.
