New protocols issued yesterday to take effect on Monday at the same time as the new government "Rule of 6" - according to the MSUK email "organised sport can continue to operate, when there is clear evidence of a thorough plan and consistent execution."
As a result:
there is now the requirement for all participants to wear a face mask in all areas of the venue at all times
the removal of individual personal exemptions from wearing a face mask; these persons will no longer be allowed to attend Motorsport UK events
enhanced powers for COVID-19 Officers, Clerks of the Course and Stewards to intervene and penalise any transgressions
reducing the maximum number of marshals per post to 6.
6 marshals per post might not be a major change - it's up from the 2 at the first events of "Restart" and more than some circuits managed historically! Face coverings is more controversial but if it's necessary to keep the sport on the road, so be it!
