Blue Flagging Hints

I have been a course marshal since 99 and occassionally got asked to wave the sticks. This year I thought I'd make it official and upgrade.
I've been told twice now that I need to concentrate more on the blue.

The main area I struggle with is during qualifying. You've got cars doing so many different speeds it can be hard to tell who's on a quick lap, and who's not! Especially after a startline straight when a quick car suddenly slows down and you've already flagged the one he was about to overtake!

I also struggle trying to keep track of who's overtaken who in long races, such as the hour GT at Combe this weekend which also had the added problem of pit stops!

I'm a genious at yellow, red and all other colours...and can even wave one while holding another and a safety car board!

Anyone got any advice that could help me inprove my blue though?
