Couple of interesting observations from my non racing attendance as radiator water scrutineer and flaggy.
# Plenty of bikes were short of water in radiator and some radiators I could not even with the 150mm pick up tube reach water
# Water ranged from clean like Marshy to never flushed brown soup - plus some green - and yes I see the irony in my task!
# Numbers. White background and black numbers easy to read while other combinations suck and triple digit numbers really suck
# Hard to read numbers and colour combinations caused problems on T4 during practice/qualifying to when to signal riders to exit T4
# Some riders hand signaled to exit T4 early practice & qualifying. Also in racing some back markers exited on Lap 4 - assume riders briefing still said this is a no no. Running up the rear of other bikes I'm sure if I could remember would be unpleasant.
Finally Helmet Cameras. Michael Schumacher if he could would advise against it I reckon. Helmets may not work as well if you whack a lump on it...
