It's when the pitlane walkabout happens at more than one circuit, and that seems to be growing in importance for spectators. It also gives the folks in race control a break - stewards and clerks have to have time for cake
In terms of marshals and lunch breaks, I'll stop laughing shortly
Seriously: there may appear to be a lot of marshals at BTCC events (and there are usually way more than at club meetings), but that's precisely because (a) it's popular and (b) that number of bodies are sometimes needed to keep to timetable. There still wouldn't be enough to rota people off for lunch, especially in flag/post chief/specialist roles.
Still, good that there's usually a lunch break in the schedule from my perspective.
