I'd just like to say a big thank you to the teams at Aintree on Friday, Copse Inside on Saturday (told you that cars aim for that barrier!), and Aintree again on Sunday.
You all worked really hard in sometimes difficult conditions but the job was always done brilliantly. |

I completely agree. We were asked not to check if people were wearing wristbands, not to check if they were wearing the right colour wrist band, but to check if the right colour wrist band had the right race written on it....all when hordes of excited team members are crossing the pit lane at a run! On more than one occasion, when asking to see what was on the wristband, I was asked if I was serious, and I was forced to admit that I was. Needless to say we were on the sharp end of some comments, some of them not pleasant, and it took the shine off what should have been an excellent weekend. It was much better later in the weekend when we just had to check that people were wearing wristbands at all, as that can mostly be done without stopping people (at least in good weather!) and so is not such an obvious "heavy presence".
Fay, it would be helpful if you get a chance to comment on these sorts of things on behalf of the marshals before the rules are finally laid down and set in stone. Marion |
