Asp poses an interesting point and one which is difficult to solve. We have seen on other threads reasons why marshals attend certain meetings and with certain clubs.
Logically, the MSA would collate all meeting requests from clubs and circuits and designate certain meetings as Grade 1. These might include the GP, WTCC, A1GP, 1000k, 24hours etc. Grade 2 might be BTCC, F3/GT, SCSA etc.
Their aim is then to avoid clashes. For instance you don't have a BTCC meeting at Rockingham on the same day as the GP. A sprint meeting at Goodwood or a race meeting at Knockhill on that weekend won't cause too many problems.
However, even if the allocation of races is perfect it doesn't mean that you will get a full allocation of marshals. We all do this as a hobby and that gives us the right to pick and choose. But, from a racing and marshalling point there needs to be a bit of planning in the way meetings are arranged so we don't have 10 meetings on the same day with the consequence that safety is compromised because of the lack of available marshals.
