BRSCC HELPS MARSHALS IN HEAT
British Racing and Sports Car Club racers and organisers took special measures at its Anglesey meeting 10 days ago to aid marshals working in soaring temperatures.
Competitors for the BRSCC’s Northern & Super Classic Formula Ford championship bought ice creams for the meeting’s marshals, by putting money ‘behind the bar’in the circuit’s canteen so that any marshal could get a free ice cream.
And BRSCC chairman
Peter Daly and British GT safety car driver Lorna Vickers – who both were competing in the FF1600 championship races at the Welsh meeting – distributed water to marshals around the circuit by mountain bike during the meeting between their on-track sessions.
Daly told Motorsport News: “BRSCC really thanked the marshals in such a hot day.
“We were in the old pitlane at Anglesey and there’s a marshals’ post there. And I went up to talk to the marshal and he looked frazzled and I gave him some water.
“At that point I decided let’s go to race control, and they don’t have the capability of getting all the way round the circuit, but Lorna and I did because we’ve got our mountain bikes so we just filled our rucksacks and took about 30 bottles of water out to them all.
“The feedback I got [was] that one of the hottest race weekends that they’ve had.”
