Abu Dhabi Grand Prix 2009

[Cynic]

I'm still trying to decide whether to apply or not. I can't see myself getting selected, but then again 'you have to be in it to win it' as they say.

I think I've worked out the selection criteria though - the form asks for details of your last twelve meetings but only gives you ten boxes to fill in!

[Nighthawk]

12 meetings & 10 Boxes....I like that...And that is meetings not days !

[rotorboy]

Form sent, EVERYTHING crossed!!

[seb666]

my form has been sent back fingers crossed

[NICK ALLISON]

If we are not selected some one has to mind the shop and keep the open sign up.BARC Brands Hatch the same weekend,Trucks.Legends,Pickups and others should be on the bill.

You might be right therei hope you go to the party... food and drink is optional but the wife said no drink no food means you get nothing

Not forgetting to check the American spelling of Orange (as in yurr cellphone)

'Orango' but only in 5ft high letters spray painted onto the grass

Congrats on your first post... Do I know you from somewhere?

[Motorsportgirli]

sent mine, dads and mums form in, we all got two forms too, might narrow the odds down further!

I put a little choccy bar in mine do you reckon i'll get thrown out for bribery?????

[Woolley]

So I'm either:

Not known by BARC.
Known by BARC to the extent that they know I don't like F1!

Either way, good luck to everyone who's applied. Hope the succesful ones have a great time and continue to show the standard of British marshalling to the Grand Prix world.

Of course, you do realize that after next year it'll be known as the 'British Grand Prix'... Sorry, as you were.

[haystacks]

Sent mine Tuesday, everything crossed including legs, as got to go to the little boys room. Could have said toilet but it sounds rude!!
Woolley you might be right about the name next year.

[haystacks]

Wench, I know who you are now. Buy yourself an electric pump for your airbed, so I can borrow it.

Edited.

Ditto, I think

or, being cynical, are we both already down for working BARC meetings that weekend on their new computer data base?

I'm definately known by BARC - but not well enough that they know I don't like F1... but I'm still putting in for this. The Racing's better this year, and I'd like to do at least one GP, so this could be it!

Oh they do Kev........we phoned 'em up and told them!!!


You can have my place as I have decided not to send in my form

[Hepatic]

are you sure it's you that decided?

[Mark Mitchell]

It was actually

[Dave Brand]

I think I've sussed out the selection criteria!

They've bought a cheap job lot of overalls in odd, poorly-selling sizes. Marshals will be selected on their ability to fit into these overalls, so the odder your size, the better your chance. . . that's me sorted, then!

[Steve Tarrant]

And me too (I presume no-one else is after the one legged trousers!!!!!!!!).

I wish people would stop stealing my thunder

IIRC, I'm down to do the Brands meeting, but still got sent a form. After much umming and aahing finally sent it off. Needless to say myself and the boss both have our fingers crossed but for entirely different reasons.

[Bodysnatcher]

Pete, knowing Steve he'll have more than 2, does he not have different legs for different occasions?
so perhaps he has his casual leg from TK Maxx - for those late evening bar b qs with a few beers
then his working leg from Arco that can lock in position allowing him to flag for hours on end
then the posh leg by Dunhill for those days when he's hobnobbing with the great and the good

Dave, that job lot of non-selling ovie sizes, that'll be Medium and Small then?

Not boasting - but the third leg on my overalls is'nt for a leg

Careful... remember one corner at a circuit in the world was named after someone who got 2 legs down one... we dont need another
