VOLUNTEER
All motorsport events, no matter what level, need volunteers to help run them safely and effectively.
From the service areas and pits, to stage or track-side, they do everything from essential administrative work to providing life-saving safety cover, offering a rewarding day and up-close and personal action from the event.
There are a wide variety of Volunteer roles available at Manx Auto Sport, from marshaling at the Manx Rally or Chris Kelly Memorial Rally, to becoming a member of the organising team. Equally, if you would just like to become a member of Manx Auto Sport, we would love to hear from you and you can head HERE for more information.
For details on the roles available within Motorsport on the island, please read on!
Almost all motorsport events need volunteer marshals (recognisable from their orange overalls or tabards) to make sure they are run safely and effectively.
Marshalling is a rewarding way of getting more closely involved with motorsport and joining a community of like-minded enthusiasts; general duties range from spectator safety and clearing debris to helping extract drivers and cars that have crashed or broken down.
If you are interested in becoming a rally marshal, you can become accredited in less than an hour by completing the new online training and accreditation scheme. Simply click here and either login if you are an existing Motorsport UK member, or register if you are new. Once logged in follow the links for ‘Online Training’.
Timekeeping is an essential element of most motorsport events, with the timekeeper’s role being to record competitors’ times and positions in order to determine the event results.
The tools used range from simple hand-held stopwatches to complex electronic timing systems that can accurately measure to the nearest thousandth of a second.
To acquire a Trainee Timekeeper licence you simply need to complete Motorsport UK’s New Officials Registration form and return it by post to the Membership Services Team, having ticked the Timekeeper Trainee box.
You will then be sent a Trainee Licence and an introductory pack with the Training Module.
