Any interesting anecdotes? My most abiding memory of motorsport in general is when I was marshalling at Druids, Oulton Park, for the British Touring Car Championship. I looked up to see Danny Watts in his Formula Renault upside down about 30 feet in the air. Luckily Danny was fine and made his own way out of the car. About 10 mintes later I was amazed to hear him asking one of the female marshals out on a date...unknown to Danny her boyfriend was standing right next to her...needless to say he quickly intervened!
