Fair????

[TRF_Tastic]

Guys I need your thoughts on a subject.

DO you think its fair to loose your FTD if you havnt marshalled?

[xx4-nutter]

most definatly

[bigred5765]

i think it is as you could have cost some one there ftd through not marshaling

[footey]

Definately, I also think you should lose your FTD for standing there, gassing to another marshal and not being attentive... and the BIGGEST no-no, is on the friggin mobile... I mean, can't it wait 5 mins?

[David Church]

Every drivers deserves to have his run marshalled!!! And the rules at this time state to loose your fastest time if you dont marshll. So this is how it should be!!!

[tc2k]

Definately. You always appreciate it when a marshall sorts your car out when you crash or a connector pops out so I think your obliged to marshall so they dont go through the same.

[Chrislong]

Its just selfish to not marshall, anybody caught should be locked in the stocks and have rotten tomatos thrown at them.

But seriously, everybody on the rostrum will expect the marshall to be at the post, and react to the roll - sometimes expecting the marshall to dive for the car before it has stopped tumbling, we have all done it, shouted, huffed and thought "the marshall cost me 3 seconds" when it is the mistake that caused the need for being marshalled.. Then for a driver to then ignore the marshall duties after any race... well, they must think the marshalls are there for just their own car and any other car that rolls is less important.... well it isn't.... but to be fair also, I can't think of anybody like this who I know - which is good.

Also, any 'top heat' driver who marshalls heat 1 and proceeds to ridicule the driving of that heat, I beleive should also be penalised.

[NeilD]

Thats a very good point.

agreed. to much of that goes on

voted yes

[jim76]

ok, who is the one person who said no? no brave enough to give their reasons!
its ok for the driver not to marshall the next race (time consiming breakage etc) as long as they get their post covered by someone else i assume?

as long as race control is informed yes

[telboy]

Yep, agreed. You should deffo marshal.
But I also think you should get a penalty for 'mouthing off' at the marshals when you crash......if you get taken out, then you have a reason to get mad, but if you make the mistake then you are just taking your 'self fustration' out on the marshal. Don't forget, if you didn't crash in the first place then the marshal wouldn't have to rush across a busy track risking his ankles ( or head if he marshals near a jump ) just to retrieve your car.
