Marshals

Become a Team Player at Gurston Down
The Gurston Hillclimb Marshalling Team performs a vital role in ensuring that our events run safely and smoothly.

There are Marshals on the track who are trained in a number of roles:
• Incident Handling
• Fire
• Use of Flags, to keep the track safe
• Communications throughout the Venue
• First Aid

There are also Marshals who look after:
• The Paddock Areas, to ensure that Competitors come out for their runs in the correct order and at the proper time
• The Start Line, to accurately position the cars at the start of each run in order to engage the electronic timing system

Marshals liaise with Professionals who include Senior Officials, Timekeepers and Results Teams, Scrutineers, Doctors and Rescue Teams.

Marshals are part of a team and enjoy benefits such as:
• Free entry to the Venue
• Effective and Hands-On Training
• Opportunities to marshal at other motor race events
• The chance to make many new friends
• Close involvement with the action, and great satisfaction from being part of a disciplined and closely knit team
