The different configurations are detailed separately, and are
International GP Configuration
Not all marshal posts are necessarily in use. As a minimum, each post should be visible to the marshals at the next post, in both directions. For example, Post 10 can see posts 9 and 11.
The green flag lap is a sighting lap and one of its intended uses is for the driver to learn the position of all manned posts.
Above is a map of the circuit, showing the marshal posts for this configuration. Below, they are described in more detail.
Important Notes
The positions are a guideline only. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, there may be mistakes or updates since the guide was created. Any feedback is appreciated.
I have been unable to walk the circuit since starting this guide. I intend to take photographs on my next visit. I will also confirm all post numbers.
Posts 3 and 6: I am not confident about the exact location of these posts.
Post 6: This post is not used for Car meetings.
 Marshal Post 1: End of Pit Wall On the left, at the very end of the concrete section of the pit wall, shortly before the start of Turn 1’s apex kerb. |    |
Marshal Post 2: Turn 1 On approach to Turn 1, it can be seen ahead, to the right. It is opposite the apex to Turn 1, set quite a away from the track, protected by a thick tyre wall. |  |
 Flag Point: Banking Entry On the left, ahead, just by the end of the tyre wall. Opposite the start of the apex kerb. This post may not be manned. When in use, as it is a supplement to Post 3. Marshal Post 3: Banking Entry Exiting the Banking, this post can be seen ahead, to the left, by the end of the tyre wall. It is midway along the exit kerb. |     |
 Marshal Post 4: Church Just before the start of the exit kerbing (also just before the end of the apex kerb), on the outside of Church Rounding Church, the tyre wall continues in a straight line. This post is at the point of the first kink. |     |
 Marshal Post 5: School Exiting Church, there is an access road ahead, to the right, which is the link for the Club configuration. Shortly after this is a circuit crossing point. Just before this crossing point, on the left, is this post. |    |
 Marshal Post 6: School Exit Not used for Car meetings. Exiting School, there is an access road ahead, to the right, which is the link for the National configuration. Shortly after this, on the left, is this post. | |
 Marshal Post 7: Rocket In This post is easily seen on approach to Rocket. It is on the inside of the circuit, to the right, by the end of the entry kerb and the start of the tarmac run-off area. |     |
 Marshal Post 8: Rocket Out Rounding the final part of the Rocket complex’s hairpin, this post can be seen ahead, on the outside, left, of the circuit. It is towards the end of the exit kerb. |    |
 Marshal Post 9: Peel Exit – Corkscrew Exiting Peel, the driver needs to look to the left in order to spot this post, as it is not in the eyeline. It is on the left, between the end of the exit kerb and the access road. |     |
 Marshal Post 10: Corkscrew Heading downhill, as you start to steer into the left turn, this post should become visible straight ahead. It is on the right of the track, by the Coastal Configuration’s right-hand apex. |     |
 Marshal Post 11: Tom Pryce Straight Heading along the Tom Pryce straight, this post is around halfway towards the Hairpin, on the left. On the right, there is a tyre wall that angles towards the track. The post is shortly after the end of this tyre wall. |    |
 Marshal Post 12: Hairpin Entry Approaching the Hairpin, this post can be seen on the outside, left, opposite the start of the apex kerb. |   |
 Marshal Post 13: Pit 2 Entry On exiting the Hairpin, the pit entry lane for the not-in-use pits is ahead, on the left. Just after this, the concrete pit wall begins, at the start of which is this post. |    |
 Marshal Post 14: Bus Stop Approach Continuing past the pit exit, this post is on the right, at the end of the International GP extension. There is a straight section armco to the right which approaches the track. The post is protected by the end of this barrier. |   |
 Marshal Post 15: Start of Pit Wall Round the final corner, with the pit entry on the left. As the start/finish straight is entered, this post can be seen ahead, by the start of the concrete pit wall. |    |
