Maybe certain people can only afford to travel 10 miles each weekend.
If we were all treated equally, there would be 800 marshals at the British GP,
something has to give!
No, people who only do BTCC are lessferior* to people who are out every weekend. I'm simply saying that people who do 30 meetings a year at one circuit are exactly equal to people who do 30 meetings a year at a variety of circuits.

As per the my above comment, I have respect for people who can only do 10 miles each weekend. I do not think that they are inferior to me, but I certainly do not think that they are superior to me.

The British GP sets limits on a minimum number of days marshalled in a year. This limit does not state that those days must have been done at Silverstone - quite correct too (my point exactly)

* yes, I know it's not a real word
