INTRODUCTORY MODULE
PRE-STAGE MARSHAL - LV1
The purpose of pre-stage is to control the flow of all competition vehicles to the two start lines (track 1 and track 2).
The benefit to competitors is they are not queued for long periods of time, far away from the pits without their support crews, shade, water etc.
The pre-stage area is located in the southern end of the pits. When entrants are ready to race they must join the end of the queue in the pre-stage area, they do not go straight to the start line unless permission has been granted by the Race Director.
The track 1 or track 2 Starter will radio Pre-Stage marshal when to send a group of vehicles to the start line. Typically this will be in groups of ten.
