2012 British GP volunteering - Page 2

HairyDJ · 22 Sep 2011, 21:12 (Ref:2959725)

lifted from the form is pretty clear - 12+ in the duty, but must have been graded by the time you apply. Of course if heavily oversubscribed that might be a differentiator?

 Application may only be made for one of the above categories and this should be your normal graded role. (Note
the Pit and Startline groups have been merged for 2012).
 You must have marshalled at least 12 days in your nominated duty to be considered for selection.
 Applications will not be accepted from marshals who have trainee status at the time of application.

Ah, so that's what the sigs are for. I was worried they might be for something I needed sometime, happy to know it's only the GP.

Hi NewYankee,

As a deputy chief flag marshal for the British Grand Prix I can assure you that any marshal that has done 40 flag days has never been refused to my knowledge.. Unless of course you can prove me wrong.. We try to treat every application in the same fair way and comments like yours above are very negative ..

Can someone tell me what the permit was for the following.

FIA GT1 World Championship

Also another question, I just need the name of the organisation club for these if possible

Silverstone Classics
FIA GT1 Championsip (guessing it's FIA)

Any help would be great.

FIA GT1 World Championship will be an international permit. Can't help with the organising club.

6 hours of Silverstone - do you mean ILMC/Le Mans Series from a couple of weeks ago? If so it will be International and the org club was BRSCC

Not sure re org club for Silverstone Classic - I think the HSCC but someone else will no doubt confirm.

Is there somewhere I can find out which permit a meeting was held under. Tried looking at BARC and BRSCC documents but can't find anything

Any help appreciated.

Permit type is included in the race programme and usually in finals.

If you look at last years thread lots of the questions are answered, if not post up details of the meeting and someone should be able to help.

deley · 25 Sep 2011, 16:21 (Ref:2960718)

make a note of each event inc the details of permit type (normally found in the meeting programme) as the year goes on to make things easier ... just a thought

Cheers for the info.

Being my 1st time applying I hadn't even thought about writing down all this info as the year went on, lol. Now I know, I will remember to write down the info or as someone else has done put it on my computer for future reference

Chris Hobson · 25 Sep 2011, 20:03 (Ref:2960823)

the forms have now been released, They are here on the BMMC website

Think I may have messed up my form which I just popped in the post this evening.

I've done 16 days so far this year (2 to go) and am graded as a Track Marshal (green). I've done a mixture of flag (12 days) and incident (4 days +2 next month) this season, mainly as I did majority incident last year and wanted to get a good spread of experience before going for an upgrade next year.

On my form I volunteered for course/incident for the GP because I thought that if I wasn't graded as a flag marshal I wouldn't be able to volunteer for that role. Does this mean that my form will be rejected? Should I have volunteered for flag instead?

You haven't done enough days to be accepted for incident. You need to have done at least 12 days incident *this* year.
Since you have a 'track' grade, you are qualified to flag. As you have done 12 days flag this year, then an application for flag should be considered.

I suggest you get in touch with whoever you sent your form to (Chris Hobson, BMMC, ?), and explain. I'm sure that it can be sorted out.

ibuckley · 27 Sep 2011, 20:45 (Ref:2961850)

Thanks for the advice. I'll get in touch with Chris Hobson and ask if my original form can be disregarded and complete another volunteering for flag, which would have been my preference anyway.

I attended an HSCC meeting and the final instructions state the permit was Clubman, would this be Nat A or B?

Can anyone assist by advising what classification the Britcar 24 hour last weekend was run under - I've been through the program backwards and forwards and I honestly can not find a reference to permits at all

?

I was just about to answer your PM Tris... Britcar 24 was nat a and nat b

Actually it will be "clubman". But National B will be ok.

A series can run under a clubman permit if it is a series (rather than a registered championship) and all members have to belong to a particular club.

You'll usually find them at the top of the marshals and officials page.

Searched high and low in the normal and abnormal places for the info, but I still couldn't find it....lucky Roy is on the ball.

f1madmatt · 11 Oct 2011, 12:54 (Ref:2969282)

Hi all , I've got a question for you. I'm currently graded as a track marshall (green), but this season I have mainly flagged and have done 12 days flagging. Can I apply for flags for the GP with a track grade, or do I need to be graded as flag to be accepted as flag ?
