Anyone on here a motorsport marshal??
Me and my girlfriend went to Oulton Park at the weekend to do a days training, basic stuff like operating fire extinguishers, operating in car extinguishers and cut off switches etc.
Now all we have to do is tick off what events we want to do this year, they send us the tickets (and an extra ticket each so two other people can get in free) and we just turn up and watch the racing (and push the odd car out of the way)
Just wondering if anyone on here was a motorsport marshal and had any information on the subject or information on other circuits etc.

Marshal as well as compete mate
Always give back what we take out of the sport. Its done by volunteers at the end of the day and if it wasn't for them we couldn't compete. I try to make it a 50/50 split between competing and marshalling. I have a current 2005 licence too

WRC will welcome you if you have a licence. You will need to apply via an MSA application form.
GP is only for experienced track marshals and are selected from many applications yes. Your local race circuit will welcome you for most other meetings though. You will need to provide (buy) your own Proban (fireproof) overalls if doing track side, or come suitably attired if doing rally stuff.
As with the sport in general there are many sides to marshalling, from being a car park attendant right through to setting them off via the lights or 5,4,3,2,1 Go signals. Then we have radio crews, time control marshals, safety officials etc etc etc. Its an interesting and rewarding hobby. But like all things you have to start at the bottom and work your way up.
