Someone who does all of the BTCC could very well argue that they should expect to be picked before a marshal who only does one circuit, as they have shown "loyalty" to the series, and gone to the circuits where numbers are fewer, to support that series.
Why, would you say, is circuit loyalty more important than series loyalty? How can it possibly be fair to tell someone who has travelled literally 1000s of miles to support a series, and been to every meeting of that series: "oh, sorry, you're surplus to requirements for this one," instead giving preference to somebody who can only be bothered to drive 10 miles each weekend? The fact is, that your "loyalty" argument works both ways.
My loyalty is to motor racing as a whole. I expect to be treated
equally to anyone who has done a similar number of meetings to me. Nothing more, nothing less.
