On a slightly different note, could anyone in the know, say what the referees job actually is concerning drivers in that heat? I'm guessing their roll has changed, but it certainly isn't what I remember 20 years ago.[/QUOTE]
Don't know the definitive answer to the job role but having raced in the NW regionals the race referee is there to monitor and warn about driving standards, ensures that there's order on the rostrum and advises drivers when they're about to be lapped so as to aid a fluid race.
