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. |
Fair do's, perhaps then, there should be something else put on for entertainment for those of us who can't face the hoards down the pit lane! I've since grown out of autograph hunting and would rather get a good look at the cars but you never get close enough, so we haven't bothered going in at the last few meetings.
Maybe they could drag out a few classic racers for some parade laps or something just to break the time up.
