Marshalling

One of the easiest and cheapest ways to get involved into rallying and motorsport is to register as a marshal.

For those wishing to become involved with motor sport - but not as a competitor, there can be no better introduction than as a marshal or official.

To organise any event requires a small army of volunteers, usually many more than the number of competitors. These volunteers carry out a wide range of duties, all of which contribute to the overall efficiency and success of the event.

Whatever you choose, your presence will be welcomed and appreciated. As a marshal, you will join a band of enthusiasts who enjoy their motor sport and through active marshalling clubs, an interesting social life.

Signing-on as a marshal is easy, and there are special training days throughout the year.

After you have gained experience as a marshal, you might like to consider one of the many other duties, such as scrutineering or timekeeping.

Seminars and Training Days

Attendance at Training Days and Seminars is an integral part of being a motor sport official. Details can be obtained from local clubs.

In the event of any problems telephone Allan Dean-Lewis at the Motor Sports Association on 01753 765000.

Minimum Requirements

In general terms, there are none. Volunteers are welcome at any age, although the duties of young people may be limited in certain situations.

Motor Sport offers "equal opportunities" at all levels, although there are a few legal exemptions, including certain competitor disabilities and minimum ages for both competing and officiating.

If you already have special skills - technical, mechanical, rescue, vehicle recovery, medical, first aid or administration; you may wish to use those skills as a volunteer in motor sport.
