The FIA credited the 'resounding success' of Hyderabad's FormulaE race to a new training programme for marshals at the Hyderabad E-Prix, and will implement similar measures for Cape Town ⬇️
Hyderabad was the first of a series of three all-new races for Formula E, with Cape Town to follow on 25 February before the world championship heads to Sao Paolo in Brazil on 25 March.
Training included the usual array of briefings, and the marshals were given an overview of their role and how they interact with race control and the trackside team, before moving onto the practical side of working at a track. “Being a new addition to the calendar, the Hyderabad E-Prix required more preparation work than most other races – both on a logistical and human level,” explained Hanaczewski.
At the end of the training sessions, the marshals were then tested to assess their reactions to a hypothetical situation, also receiving radio training to ensure that race control could ultimately understand any messaging.
