BTCC @ Croft

Hi All,

Does anybody know how many marshals are going to BTCC @ Croft, in a couple of weeks?

Yes.

I'd guess that quite a few people know!

If you really feel the need to know then Paula at the BARC Office could probably give you an idea.

Or, I'll open with 107 going

Yeah, I'm trying to get an idea of whether I'd be useful or just a spectator, *before* bothing The BARC about it.

I suspect the number of marshals would be as expected for a BTCC meeting and normal rules will apply to the manning of flags, brooms, between session track inspections and incident attendance.

Kinda what I expect to, tbh, although with FE and Goodwood on, I thought perhaps they might be shorter in numbers.

Ahh well. I'll probably just stay at home and marshal from my armchair. I'll be sure to post up-to-date information on what everybody is doing wrong

Re manning of duties, in order, I'd guess:

Two too many, a couple, no-one, everyone.

Croft Marshal should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Rumour has it that not many marshals will travel to Croft this year due to FOS and FE and the Mini fest at Brands, so numbers are expected to be low to medium and not as high as other BTCC meetings in the southern half of the country

I've been using that for quite some time along with other information on race meetings that you can easily find with a few minutes internet searching.

Or maybe some marshals just haven't been told that final instructions have A) already been published, and B) are available to people who haven't volunteered, via a website.

Since we're spoonfeeding information, perhaps you could tell me if that list includes people who have volunteered directly to the circuit. .... or am I stupid/lazy for not knowing the answer to that one, too?
