Race Observer

[JohnD]

This is to contribute to some chat between drivers, as a result of the new emphasis on Track Limits.
The Blue Book speaks of Race Observers as "the eyes and ears of the Clerk" (G.1) Is the senior marshal on a post automatically (or usually) an Observer? Is it they who would call in anyone overstepping the line? Or is a Judge of Fact required?

Thanks, for replying if you do, and also for marshaling!

If a post has an observer it is he/she who would contact race control to report any driving offence. If no observer on post, either the post before or after if seen would contact race control. Hope this helps.
