As per Nadine’s latest post, just a reminder of the following guidelines as they currently stand –
- The Motorsport UK guidelines have been written for clubs and venues to implement. The clubs will determine how they implement and communicate to officials.
- Venues will endeavour to prepare and maintain enhanced hygiene standards before, during and after events. Please assist by following signage / instructions and leaving places as you wish to find them (e.g. toilets, litter bins etc.)
- Where necessary stay in your vehicles, maintain social distancing, reduce car sharing with people from other households and wash your hands regularly!
- Volunteering – manning levels at venues have been determined by venues with Motorsport UK agreement. It is two per post but these may be a combination of PC, Flag or incident depending on venue. Clubs will select accordingly. I don’t envy the selectors – tough job! Their selection decisions to reduce numbers will lead to some disappointment I am sure. Post allocation process will be advised by the Chief marshal – so ensure you understand the exact location to stand as this ensures social distancing measures maintained. As government restrictions lift we expect the guidelines to change as well.
- Declaration – this will be electronic before each event and can be found on Motorsport UK website (each club will advise their own process for you to complete)
- On the day
- Incidents – a thumbs up is required from a driver to indicate all is well.
- Do not touch or enter a vehicle unless you have the correct PPE
- Do attend to fires, direct drivers and only assist pushing where practicable and PPE is used.
- Equipment – follow directions from the organisers reference equipment provided, sanitisation, use during the day and returning when task completed.
- PPE – most clubs will provide specific PPE where necessary. Recommended – face coverings, spare gloves, hand sanitiser for your own personal use. And don’t forget to dispose correctly (preferably take home with you)
- If you feel unwell during the day – contact Race Control and advise. Return equipment where possible and leave the circuit as soon as practicable. Keep the Chief Marshal advised of updates to condition after event – especially if COVID-19 symptoms
- And remember maintain social distance (2m is still the rule – 1m plus where this isn’t possible) and wash hands regularly (did I say that again?!)
- PRCs will not be signed at the event. Please record the details of your attendance and this will be checked with Chief Marshals if required.
