with the F1 confirmed here in Singapore, the organizers will

be looking for marshal soon for the event as reported.

 

so i was wondering, beside me and a few crazy friends, who will

apply for it once the call comes for volunteer marshal.

i think the race needs about 500 marshal in a race week

around the track..

cheers

To those who voted 'yes if they pay me', do remember that marshals at F1 events around the world are all volunteers and are never paid.

Now, is that true? A F1 marshal job is never easy. Brave the weather, the noise, the danger. Slow to wave blue flag and will get complains from the drivers!

 

Not even insurance coverage?

yup... all are volunteer.

like Mark Webber mentioned while he was in Singapore

we must treat this event as a national pride.

 

personally, it will not be so much as a national pride

it's really more of be close to action.

waving yellow or blue flags.. [:p]

 

there are dangers of being a F1 marshal.

if i'm not wrong one marshal was KIA on March 4th 2001,

Albert Park, Australia.

so it's about being there for the love of the sports

and those who wants to be paid, get Progress Package from Mr OBS lor

Can't afford Paddock Club so for poor people like us, it's the only way to get real close to the action. I will be happy to wave the Blue flag :) Of course volunteering depends on whether one is available.. I am sure it will take many hours of your own time (may probably have to apply leave), to attend training courses, dry runs, meetings etc... but i guess it is worth it
