As the person who drew up the initial set of rules that are now up on here (at the top of the YORCC board) I'm guilty of plenty of infringements ... swearing being one... so I'm certainly not trying to be pious.
On the marshalling side: I witnessed one marshal on Saturday clearly "not seeing" cars that had come a cropper on the tight, stepped left hander after the jump. People had to shout to get him to notice crashed cars on several occasions.
Personally, I don't mind someone shouting "Marshall" or even my name, if I haven't seen a crash, as long as it's not followed by swearing.
The problem is, some marshals seem to be in a daze during a race.
The theory with the rules is, if we all play our part (eg by marshalling well) then everyone else will find it easier to play by the rules (by not having to shout at us). It's like a trickle-down effect.
