Marshalling

[Skivleditch]

Can someone explain how I'd go about applying to be a marshall? I've got no idea where to start.

Cheers

Hi Skivleditch, as you might guess from my nickname I spend many summer weekends marshalling, and I'd definitely recomend it as a way of being involved in motorsport at low cost. I personally find it very rewarding and you get to meet all sorts of interesting people.

the best place to start would be to go to the marshals club website - http://www.marshals.co.uk/ - where there is plenty of information about getting started. Hope to see you in orange soon

Cheers

Hi Skivleditch, I can only add that without the marshals, we could not do what we do, so in that sense YOU make it happen. I was carried out of my car at Oulton Park after an accident last year with a query about damage to my neck.
They were prompt, careful, caring, cheerful, efficient and very professional so I can only congratulate you if you do become one of this terrific group.
(by the way, the neck was fine, also no brain damage....they couldn't find one!!)

Thanks everyone. I'm looking in to it.

On Top Gear last night, they had VB-H doing a piece on marshalling.
