We almost got run over on the way back after the GP2 race by the recovery truck carrying Jerome D'Ambrosio's car: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubbergoat/4954782379/in/set-72157624872621402/<br /><br />And it was nice to meet you, however briefly ;) Good luck at the LMS!RubberGoathttp://f1numbers.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004371064308659237.post-17401272775751492232010-09-05T17:40:21.761+01:002010-09-05T17:40:21.761+01:00That's a good point actually, I'm not sure...That's a good point actually, I'm not sure about paddock marshals. Hmm. I'll have to investigate that one, just out of interest. But I'm doing track marshalling too, so at least I'd be able to do that at a track overseas. :)loulovesmotorsporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995329958599293219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004371064308659237.post-89391117261965059472010-09-05T16:13:33.687+01:002010-09-05T16:13:33.687+01:00I hope you enjoy marshalling.

The Silverstone race must lose 10,000 people because it is on against Monza.<br /><br />I know British marshals travel all over the continent to work at various events but I am not sure if that is only track rather than paddock marshals. I am sure if you wanted to do Spa they would be happy to have you.Steven Roynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004371064308659237.post-17501384517844707992010-09-05T16:04:26.208+01:002010-09-05T16:04:26.208+01:00I suppose they've only got as many marshals as...I suppose they've only got as many marshals as the ones that volunteer, and with such a long circuit it looks like they didn't have enough to have lots on each post (bodes well for if I want to have a go there one year in the future..!!).<br /><br />And thanks for that link, I've not come across Ruthy before but her posts look really interesting so I'll keep an eye on that for sure.<br /><br />I hate that I have to miss Monza for the LMS, but oh well. iPlayer is my friend. (Although I don't like not watching it live). At least the marshals seem to do their best not to mention the F1 result if they happen to know it, so hopefully I'll avoid the result until I watch it.loulovesmotorsporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995329958599293219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004371064308659237.post-22025830129437494972010-09-05T15:50:34.761+01:002010-09-05T15:50:34.761+01:00I didn't notice the smoking but I did notice t...I didn't notice the smoking but I did notice the relative lack of marshal posts and number of people on them, compared to the average British track. I've seen BTCC events with marshal posts closer together and 5 or 6 people on each! I'm sure some of these only had 3 or 4 people.<br /><br />Nice one on being a marshal, looks like it can be a really hard job. Have you read Ruthy? http://ruthsracyadventures.wordpress.com/<br /><br />I'm deciding between going to the LMS, or staying at home to watch Monza..Pat Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16969286427943489462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5004371064308659237.post-9457406333023850732010-09-05T15:38:26.925+01:002010-09-05T15:38:26.925+01:00Thanks Alianora!
