international offical licences
I was wondering i have a CAMS offical's licence... and i might do a few events overseas (mainly in the US or UK just don't know yet because i haven't decided).
How do they work out the licences as far as people who come from overseas to work? is there any special system (and more importatlly is there any system at all)? Simsy |

Hi and welcome to 10/10ths.
As far as I know, if you are coming to the UK you would just turn up like the rest of us - doesn't matter what "international" licence you hold. However what would matter would be your "discipline"? Are you a flag marshal or a fire marshal or a pit marshal or something else? Depending on what you do would depend on where you marshal over here in England. I'm afraid I haven't a clue as to the US but I'm sure someone on here will be able to help. |

If you wanted to try another discipline I'm sure that there are several people on this forum who would be willing to "take you under their wing" for a day to show you what we do over here. A thought occurs to me - are you over 16? If so, you could come and have a go at pit marshalling some time if you would like to try it. |

USA, at your service
Quote:
In the USA, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) sanctions Amateur and some Professional road racing events as well as Autocrosses (trials, but on very large parking lots or disused airfields). The club races are of Regional (~30 regions put on races), Divisional, and National championship races. Spectator marshaling is generally provided by the track(s) and no SCCA personnel are involved. The Porsche Club and BMW Club also have races with similar levels of competition. The professional events (ALMS, Grand-Am, Speed World Challenge, OWRS (nee CART)and various `formulae' are always staffed by SCCA licensed workers. Guests are accomodated almost always, but some professional events have limitations on worker passes. PM me with your travel dates/locations and I will attempt to steer you to the appropriate "Region" of SCCA. If you access: http://www.marshalspost.com/index.php you will find a lot of information. "thebear" is the source of all the US material as well as the articles about Le Mans and Indy F-1. |

willing to travel anywhere any time any place (pretty much to any rally or circuit track in the world within monetary and time constraints - i do live in australia, so not the closest place in the world to europe or the US!) To thebear - I prefer open wheelers (F1 etc), Saloon cars (bit like our V8's down here in australia) and rally events (hmm like BRC, ARC, WRC etc) Simsy Last edited by aussiemotohead; 2 Apr 2004 at 07:31. |
