Whats this about then? well its Marshaling at Motorsport Events, and it's not really about getting a free days spectating its about doing something that you enjoy and getting fullfilment out of it. Marshals are the guys in orange overalls who wave the correct flags at the side of the tracks to the lunatics inside the cars that there is a problem ahead, they also keep 2 drivers apart when they have taken each other off, they also help save Lives, and yes on a good day they can spend the whole day watching cars racing around a circuit without having to leave their posts to heave a car out of the gravel etc. They also run the cars in the pits, startlines and various other places at races, rallys, sprints, hillclimbs etc
Marshals are some of the most respected men and women at the race track, without them there would be no motoracing. Do you like watching Motorsport, like being close enough to smell it, taste it, feel it as the cars go thundering by, then take a few moments to read through these links.
And have a think about joining this group of motorsport "professionals". It dosn't matter what form of Motorsport you like, there are Marshals needed in all the catagories.
