From memory, just one has been red flagged - cadwell last october.
Not sure NE's value is reflected in the number of red flags... they've already got our money.
Seeing this from a marshals pov, I think the delays are mostly caused by the increasing eagerness to throw a red flag for incidents that didn't used to warrant one. Is this just h&s bollux invading club racing? Solution - penalise riders for disobeying yellow flags! The times I've marshalled I've witnessed plenty of yellow crimes, but not once do I know it was penalised. If riders were more considerate of a yellow, then the reds would be far less necessary.
