Btcc at Thruxton and Silverstone plus GP Masters

[CombeMarshal]

I recived aknowledgment Of my availability for the BTCC at Thruxton and Silverstone And for the GP Masters and on it it say that it is not guarenteed that I will be selected, Does anyone know the likely hood of being choosen and how much notice I will recieve If I have not been accepted?

Cheers, Lee

That proviso is generally true of all clubs at all meetings. however, very few are ever so fully subscribed that they have to turn marshals away (Goodwood FoS & Revival meetings being exceptions to this!).

For the BTCC meetings, I'd have thought you'd have nothing to worry about.

The GP Masters is a first running in the UK, so I can't guess how subscribed it is with marshals. Therefore if you are that concerned, I suggest you drop a line to the BARC marshals secretary Sara Wernham.

Cheers for that Steve, I sort of thought that was the case, I'm sure someone else will have me if they don't!!

I didn't get any such messages back about my application for Grand Prix Masters - that would kind of suggest that it's either the BTCC, or some other factor.

These events are a long way off yet and confirmation of requirement is to a long way off, usually 1-2 weeks before the event your tickets will come through. Stiggy, if you email Sara she should be able let you know if she got your volunteering form or not. It also depends on when you volunteered...it usually takes about a week or so for your availability stuff to come through to say she got it.

All events usually run on the "thank you but we can't promise we'll need you" basis. However as has been said most events with the exception of the Goodwood ones are never over subscribed and take as many marshals as they can get.

Yup, she got it, and I've had the acknowlegement as well. Sent it off in March!

I think the reason you didn't get the note about selection is that you got your volunteering form in nice and early. Sara may not have known how popular the event was going to be then so didn't see the need to include the note with your confirmation sheet.
