Silverstone Marshals Team

Have had my renewal form and provisional list of dates for next season
There's also the ability to volunteer/be considered for the Moto GP,providing one is already registered as a bike Marshal,or is willing to attend a Racesafe training day (Silverstone is having one on the 23rd Jan)

Quite tempted by Silverstone's offer on new overalls,do 10 days marshalling at the circuit this year and have the cost (£50) refunded

Steven Humphrey · 9 Dec 2009, 18:03 (Ref:2596806)

The overalls offer is a great bonus-previously, the black Silverstone ones were about £80 (from Jays-the new offer is through AWS), a bit much when I've got perfectly good orange ones. Off the peg only though, which is fine if you are standard shape otherwise, like myself, they can be a bit roomy-it's still £80 for made to measure & no refund. I'll definately be getting some though-thankyou Silverstone!

Brilliant idea, not sure it works for me though as I am also a weird shape - if it fits round my bottom half it wont round my top!

Can't you get a two piece overall? Surely much more logical for our 'lady' marshals? Then you could ask for different top & bottom sizes.

I've checked with Penny at Silverstone. If you're a shape that doesn't suit one-fits-all it's worth contacting her if you're interested in the overalls deal as there may be a contingency. It would still be Jays.

Will probably need new ones before the end of next season, was going to see if she had sample sizes to try on when I needed my new ones....

Might be worth finding out.

remember if you join racesafe they issue overalls for the bsb and with a new sponsor this year waterproofs as well for free. I'm doing the racesafe training day this year as I've joined racesafe for the bsb series at oulton, mallory, silverstone, brands hatch and donnington if they get the track fixed by then.lol

I've completed my form and sent it back. Looking forward to my 2nd season as a marshal. Got a few meetings already pencilled in my diary. One that i am looking forward to is the Britcar 24hr race.

Don't know what to expect as I have never attended a 24hr race. I tried booking the Monday of work but couldn't so I can see myself struggling that day at work

I did mark myself down for the MotoGP and Training day on the 23rd Jan but I'm going to guess that I may not be able to attend this as I'm only a trainee with 13 days under my belt

But hey if I can't there's still plenty of other stuff to look forward too

Best national event of the year, in my opinion. You'll love it

Hi Bodger,
As Burnsie said, certainly one of the highlights of the year.
Usually we do 4 hours on, 4 hours off. Because it's on the GP circuit, you may find numbers a bit short overnight, but there will be a flag/observer, I/O and incident crew. Be prepared for the dreaded fog. The last 2 times it was 24hrs, this has caused problems for the race overnight. 2007 we had 4 hours of safety car, 2008 it had to be stopped for a while. Apart from that, you will love it. A great number/variety of cars. Hope the Lupo returns.

Cynic · 15 Dec 2009, 10:28 (Ref:2600040)

The question is will it be on the current GP circuit, or the proposed new one? From what I've seen there's no reason why the current GP circuit can't be retained.

pauln · 15 Dec 2009, 12:16 (Ref:2600085)

The current GP circuit will certainly still be available for use. It's up to event organisers whether they run on that or the new Arena Circuit.

Bodger · 15 Dec 2009, 19:41 (Ref:2600312)

Should be ok for work on the Monday then if there is some sort of rota going on through the night. 4hrs of safety car, that most of been a laugh on the bank.

Is that the bit they were going to bank for the Moto gp your talking about, would be interesting to find out if thats still going ahead.
And also there was talk about the final chicane that the bikes use, being changed, as not many teams, riders liked it much.....bit of a hot spot for the odd spill....or dodgie overtaking move....causing us boys and girls in orange...a bit of mess to clean up....

I was at Silverstone last Sunday, and can confirm there is a LOT of work going on around the start of the club straight where the new hairpin is going to be sited, and that all the tarmac for the motorcycle chicane has all been dug out.

Don't forget that if you are a BMMC member our sponsorship deal means you get £30 refunded from the cost of AWS overalls, the basic ones cost £40 so you only end up paying £10
