Marshalling
on a tarmac, multi-use stages rally is a great way to
get up close to the action, as well as helping to provide
the essential safety cover for the event. Many clubs across
the South contribute to the total of between 100 and 150
marshals who volunteer their services on the rally each
year. However, you do not have to be a member of a motor
club to take part. Just contact us, and we can put you
in touch with the Chief Marshal who will place you with
experienced colleagues if it’s a new experience
for you. Full training is available from clubs who tap
into the scheme organised by the Motor Sport Association,
the governing body. Follow the link to Volunteers in Motor
Sport for further details.
On
the rally, we need timekeepers at the start and finish
of each stage, safety radio operators, and general marshals
on corners and other locations. Their tasks are to direct
spectators as appropriate, and to provide the first line
of response to incidents. All participants are aware that
motor sport is potentially dangerous, but like our colleagues
on the racing circuits, rally marshals in the UK are held
in very high regard. Trained medical, rescue, and recovery
teams accompany their work on every stage.
Some
basic equipment is essential: strong footwear, coat and
waterproof, hi-vis. tabard, and food and drink. In addition,
the following items are useful: clipboard, torch, whistle,
a fire extinguisher, hat, gloves (and sun screen for summer
rallies!) Be prepared to use your initiative and common
sense – the most important attributes for a marshal.
Hope
to see you there! |
