The coroner's concerns
1. long hair untucked from suit before karting
“I am concerned about the current system's apparent reliance on checks at the reception area, particularly when it comes to long hair, which obviously cannot be removed and so may be untucked from a suit or come out of a suit before karting commences”
2. loose clothing or hair outside race suit
“A current race director, who was a race director on 6 August 2021, stated it was a regular occurrence that track marshals did not spot loose clothing or hair outside a race suit”
3. long hair hanging loose outside race suits
“CCTV of the pit lane from 6 August 2021 showed a number of people with long hair hanging loose outside the race suits”
4. spot checks and mystery shoppers supervision
“Capital Karts conduced spot checks and used 'mystery shoppers' as part of the supervision of staff”
5. inadequate checks on clothing by marshals
“My concern is increased by the evidence of Capital Karts' managing director during the inquest.”
