Marshals’ Training with the VSCC in 2014
Friday 24 January 2014
The Vintage Sports-Car Club’s Training Programme this year will again be offering a variety of training opportunities to both experienced and novice marshals this season, with the first session taking place alongside our Pomeroy Trophy event at Silverstone in February.
UNDERSTANDING THE NEW FLAG AND OVERTAKING REGULATIONS AND THE NEW TRACK LIMITS
Silverstone Circuit, Saturday 22 February
Purpose: A short update for circuit racing marshals on the new flag regulations, waved yellow and green flags at an incident, use of the green flag, the overtaking regulation that permits only one change of direction to defend a position and the new track limits, only one wheel over the white line or outer edge of the kerb.
Can you waved two yellow flags at the same time? Find out how by attending.
As in previous years, the session will take place in the morning, allowing volunteers to then go trackside for the Pomeroy afternoon High Speed Regularity sessions (remember to volunteer for both elements).
