My interpretation of this paragraph is that 8-12 year old Jr Drivers are
"exempt
from this prohibition during their run group" because when they are driving
they obviously_have_to be in staging, grid, start/finish, and on the course.
But this also implies that the prohibition still applies in heats other than
the
one in which they run, so they can't be a worker in any of those areas. This
is the way the situation has been handled at Tours and ProSolo's, AFAIK.
Perhaps we do need another sentence there to make it clearer that Jr Drivers
aren't allowed to work in those areas, even though I think this rule already
prohibits them from doing so.
