New Marshals Grading Scheme

New Marshals Grading Scheme launched.

Volunteers in Motorsport have introduced a new Marshals Grading Scheme
starting in 2007 designed to provide a common framework for marshals and
other volunteers across all disciplines of motorsport.

Designed to enable a clear progression path and to allow Event Organisers to
determine that they have sufficiently experienced staff for events, the
Marshal Grading Scheme is introduced for Race marshals and new Rally
marshals in January 2007, Kart and Speed marshals later in the year and for
existing Rally marshals in January 2008.

“The marshals grading scheme is designed to provide marshals with a clear
route to progress through the sport,” said Volunteers in Motorsport
co-ordinator, Sue Sanders-Peppitt.

“Event Organisers need to know that they have sufficient people with the
right level of experience to run events safely. The grading scheme helps
identify the amount of experience a volunteer has had within the sport. The
scheme has been revised to provide a common framework across all disciplines
within the sport.”

Volunteers in Motorsport is an MSA funded initiative with support from
Motorsport Development UK. Its aim is to help motorsport clubs recruit and
retain marshals and other volunteers.
