We were paid £4:00 and we marshalled something like 4 qually and 4 races for the racing school pupils.
You were nearly always on post on your own.......and one day (I had only been marshalling for about a month) I was put on a Fire Tender (The Landrover) on my own!
I think the cars were Formula First and Astra's?
Brings back some good memories of my early days..... 1994-ish.
Whatever happened to to the JR Race School?

Remember those days too Mark. Also, when the Marshals National Training Weekends were held at Donington, the Jim Russell school used to help out too, around the Melbourne loop simulating various incidents. I also have a book here at home ''The Jim Russell Story'' by Norman Greenway published byTransport Bookman in 1999. A good read if you get a chance.
