It has been pointed out that this year marshals will receive one guest wristband to cover all three days, not as previous years one for each day.

This is correct.

I have had a chat with IMS and asked them to give consideration to going back to three bands next year as in previous years. This is because quite a lot of us invite different guests on different days. They said that they would take the feedback on board for consideration next year.

Meanwhile the advice I have been given by the IMS for this year, is for guests to wear the wristband loosely, or on a lanyard, so it can be given to another (legitimate of course!) guest on a different day.

Are those roles notified separately? I know the paddock team are, but I can't find anything about pit/startline teams anywhere...

They've never been in the allocations that I know of...

Graeme, I think Nick may be pulling your leg.

Noooo. Who me ? In fairness Pits and Startline have not been listed for ages now. We will still be there doing what we what we do with skill, care, diplomacy and safety!
See you all in a couple of weeks.
