Andrew Hornsey should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thats what I like to hear. I must admit, I have concentrated on karts recently (cause that is my job) but I think it may be IO related more than anything - without wanting to start a war of words, it seems that if you are Silverstone based, you tend to let more things be snatched. This may be because the circuit is very different at Silverstone than Donington.

I did find that on a recent (well a year or two ago) visit to Donington, the attitude was fairly similar to that of Silverstone, which was "don't worry, the snatch vehicle can get that".

It is interesting that when I started marshalling, the only circuit to snatch was Silverstone, and all other circuits had reasonable sized gravel traps, rather than the monsterous ones they have now.

As I said earlier, I think that a good grounding in marshalling without the use of snatch vehicles can give people a good grounding in the basics.

Well done to the team that you mention though, thats what it is all about.
