Firstly, let’s look at the role of
PIT MARSHAL
What does this role entail and what equipment will you be using?
![Page 3: This presentation explores the role of pit marshals and flag marshals in the running of the 24 hr HPV race](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649ea35503460f94ba819e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The main function of PIT MARSHALS is controlling speed in the pit lane, to maximise safety of all competitors.
![Page 4: This presentation explores the role of pit marshals and flag marshals in the running of the 24 hr HPV race](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649ea35503460f94ba819e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
SPEED IN PITS
• Maximum speed in the pit lane is 10 kph
• Speed Guns may be used to check vehicle speed
• Speeding vehicles should be waved down by hand movement
• Verbal warnings should be given
![Page 5: This presentation explores the role of pit marshals and flag marshals in the running of the 24 hr HPV race](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649ea35503460f94ba819e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
STOPPING IN PITS
• Vehicles must stop in the pit bay under the effect of their own braking system
• Stopping with the assistance of others is not permitted
• Offending vehicles may be asked to demonstrate effective braking
![Page 6: This presentation explores the role of pit marshals and flag marshals in the running of the 24 hr HPV race](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051416/56649ea35503460f94ba819e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

DIRECTION OF TRAVEL IN PITS

PITTING DURING A SAFETY CAR
• During safety car deployment, vehicles may enter pit lane, however, as a safety precaution, vehicles will only be allowed to exit pit lane and join the end of the queue as the field is passing by.
• If the field is out of sight, pitted vehicles will be held for another lap.
