I think this is absolute shite
Apparently marshalling is " voluntary " however if you refuse to Marshall even on safety grounds you will probly incur a penalty
So in reality you are forced to Marshall sometimes in an unsafe position
I have been clearing a crash with two cars at the top of the straight after shouting " car on straight " very loudly and received a b4 full power to my heel by a relitavly new driver
Who said I heard ya shout but assumed you'd cleared it " sorry "
Every other driver slowed or drive round
And I also shout " clear " once I have cleared a crash on the straight to let people know its safe again to try to avoid this
Any way I am self employed for a month I struggled to work properly especially up ladders
And I am told this is my fault I marshalled at my own risk .
So to avoid injury don't Marshall , but that means you might as well not race
Linzi who raced with us for a bit ended up with his full leg in plaster for ages after an incident very simaler to this
Again through no fault of his own
Why the hell shouldn't marshalls be covered anywhere on the track it's bloody dangerous
And if they are not then marshalling should be truly voluntary
Some classes or grouos are worse to Marshall than others and at times I have been terrified as cars desperate not ti lose half a second in the z final attempt to take out marshalls then crash and shout at em them burn there fingers revving the car as they Marshall The
Bloody thing
Personally I think things need to change especially if your injured by someone else's poor driving/ mistake


This is a definite problem needs addressing
Glad this thread is running
