It all comes down to the fact that marshals are in some peoples eyes 'a necessary evil' and very little is done to keep them safe not only from errant cars, but also flying debris. How many of us have marshalled at circuits where the oak posts that hold armco barries up, are rotten through with age? It really is about time the stewards of the meeting got out of the course car once in a while, checked the circuit from the other side of the barrier before allowing proceedings to continue!
