He rightly waited to ensure no unfair advantage gained. Just as the car that was next to him (before the tumble) had came round to where he was waiting, he was picked up and put back the other side of the marking. (Double penalty) I thought this was unfair. If there is a something not right, it should be addressed by the Race Director not the marshall. If the marshalls start deciding what's right and what's not, then the scope of interpretation is going to be huge and it opens the door for bias, whether intentional or not.
ben, and all i marshal as i do for 10ic , where we have a written rule, if the car leaves the track it must return from where it left.
If its not aceptable i can allways put my oakleys on and stand at the end of the rostrum/table top and look asleep as one marshal did
