International 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 15 can see posts 14 and 16.
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.
Please note that 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.
In summary, while not guaranteeing perfection, I have identified the post positions along with repeater lights. Again, note that not all posts may be in use, while other posts may not have been used for flagging during my visits. Also, since writing, posts may have been moved or added. This is just a guide, but hopefully a useful guide.
Important Notes
Peter Tattersall
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.
The post numbers given here reflect my observations on watching back race videos from my own onboard footage. Some of those numbers were indistinct, while others were not visible at all. I got most, though, with questions only arising from those that I have listed as the following numbers:
Posts 10 and 11, while I did not see where 9 could be.
As I saw numbers for posts 8 and 12, I wounder if I missed a post between 8 and 10, especially as there does not seem to be a line of sight. Perhaps the repeater lights alongside Post 12 and facing towards the driver is controlled by post 12 and therefore acts as post 9?
Post 13.
I could not find post 13, which may not exist due to superstition.
Posts 20 and 20A.
I did identify posts 19 and 21. Between these are two flag posts, so I identified them as 20 and 20A.
 | Marshal Post 1: Old Hall In On the left, on approach to the first corner. It is located just after and opposite the end of the concrete pit wall. Repeater Lights On approaching the first corner, the lights are directly ahead, on the left. Marshal Post 2: Old Hall Grandstand On the left, between the repeater lights and the grandstand. Marshal Post 3: Old Hall Exit / Pit Lane Exit On the left, just after the Pit Lane Exit. |
 | Marshal Post 3: Old Hall Exit / Pit Lane Exit On the left, just after the Pit Lane Exit. Marshal Post 4: The Avenue On the left, only a little further down this straight. Only on a busy weekend should both posts be likely to be in use. Marshal Post 5: The Avenue Located on the inside of the circuit, to the right. It is immediately after the corner marker board. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, this flag post. |
 | Marshal Post 6: Cascades Heading downhill, the circuit straightens before Cascades, the left-hander. Ahead can be seen a large gravel trap. The post is at the end of this, on the far-left corner. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, this flag post. |
 | Marshal Post 7: Lakeside This is about a third of the way along the long straight that leads up to Island. Prior to this post, the armco barrier was set further back; it runs smoothly towards the circuit and gets to its closest point to the circuit immediately after this post. |
 | Marshal Post 8: Island This corner is a tight hairpin when using the Island configuration, but a fast left-hand sweep when on this, the International configuration. There is a corner board on the left, followed by the post on the right. Lights Lights are on the outside of Island corner. They are alongside Post 12, which is on the return loop of this International extension. |
 | Marshal Post 10: Shell In On the outside (left) just before the start of the hairpin. Marshal Post 11: Shell Out On the outside (left), at the start of the exit kerbing. On approaching the post for Shell In, a glance to the right give an early indication of waved flags at this post. |
 | Marshal Post 12: Britten's (Foulston's) On the right, at the entry to the chicane. Repeater Lights A set of lights precede this post. |
 | Marshal Post 14: Hill Top Situated at the peak of the rise, on the right. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, this flag post. |
 | Marshal Post 15: Knickerbrook In On the left, shortly before the turn in to the chicane. There are three countdown marker boards. The final is alongside this post. Repeater Lights On approach to Knickerbrook, these lights can be seen directly ahead, by the exit to the chicane. The lights are set up so that they are also clearly visible on approaching the next post. |
 | Marshal Post 16: Knickerbrook Out On the left, by the apex of the escape road that would be taken if the entry speed into Knickerbrook had been too high, forcing the driver to go straight on.. Marshal Post 17: Knickerbrook Out On the right, by the chicane’s final apex. Lights On approach to the final apex of this chicane, the lights can be seen directly ahead. |
 | Marshal Post 18: Clay Hill Just before the crest of the hill is a pedestrian bridge. The marshal post is underneath, to the right. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, this flag post. |
 | Marshal Post 19: Watertower The circuit has a kink to the left. Just before this kink and after the turn-in point, to the right, is the marshal post. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, this flag post. |
 | Marshal Post 20: Druids On the left, just after turning into the corner. The post is at the very end of the armco post. Marshal Post 20A: Druids Exit On exiting Druids, the post can be seen ahead, on the left. |
 | Marshal Post 21: Warwick Bridge On the right, immediately after the bridge. |
 | Marshal Post 22: Lodge In On the left, around the corner entry. Repeater Lights Lights are seen directly ahead, to the left, at the far left corner of the gravel trap They are controlled by, this flag post. Marshal Post 23: Lodge Out On the left of the track, visible (ahead) as the corner apex is met. It is on the far-right corner of the gravel trap. |
 | Marshal Posts 24 and 25: Deer Leap At the rise of the hill. The two posts are opposite each other, before and next to the pedestrian bridge. Repeater Lights Lights are attached to, and controlled by, post 25, on the right. |
