How does one get promoted to the gradually growing special area? Lol
I guess you mean the VIP/Marshall/Passenger ride lane?
its no promotion , its just easier for us marshalls (that don't get paid) to dive out of when there is an issue on track or elsewhere than being stuck in the bunch.
Occasionally people have passenger rides to give for either drift racing passenger experiences etc , or sponsor rides to fulfil blah blah , they don't want to be awkwardly sat in the pack sometimes
But your not losing out on seat time at all don't fret.
