Always marshal after your heat or final, you marshal the marshal point with the same number as your car. When
marshalling make sure you are well inside the marshal point, only leave the marshal post when safe to do so. When you
are marshalling you require your own high viz vest and your own gloves. Marshalling finals Drivers should report to race
control if they are not taking part in their finals but it is considered you should still marshal yourpost.
When you are marshalling, we ask you to marshal other people how you want to be marshalled yourself. Also please
remember it is the marshal’s decision to leave their marshal point when safe and enter the track.
So remember you crashed it no one else!
Marshals are NOT permitted make any repairs to a car and they may only make 3 restart attempts. It is the driver’s or pit
crew responsibility to recover their vehicle, the marshal should not bring it to the pits for you.
Whilst marshalling there is strictly no smoking or eating and no use of mobile phones allowed. No one under 14 years of
age is allowed to marshal, a replacement must be found.

Referees
Where practical a provision shall be made for a Referee in all heats and finals. This will usually be the sections own
referees, you may be asked to referee instead of marshalling if required. Guidance will be given by the head referee.The
Referee may request drivers to allow a faster car to overtake, issue warnings to drivers, and issue penalties to drivers for,
but not limited to any of the following:
• Bad sportsmanship by drivers - i.e. deliberately impeding the progress of others by slowing down, crashing or hitting
another car, corner cutting, driving recklessly to gain an advantage and/or being unable to properly control acar such as
to cause a potential safety hazard.
• Cars in a dangerous condition - i.e. body not secured to chassis, causing damage to track, fixing or track markers,and
a safety hazard to marshals.
• Jump starts.
• Corner cutting (with deliberate intent)If three penalties are issued to one driver by the Referee during the Meeting (single day) the driver is disqualified from
