Marshals wanted for F1 Euro GP in Baku, Azerbaijan, June 17-19, 2016

For the more adventurous ones among us!

From Bill Armitage (who is the Flag chief for the US GP F1 @ CotA)'s FB page:

"I was contacted by the ASN for the Formula One Grand Prix of Europe in Baku, Azerbaijan June 17-19. They are looking for qualified flag marshals to support the event. Accommodations and food will be provided. You are responsible getting there. If you are interested either PM me or email me at cotaf1flag@earthlink.net"

Note that it's the same week(end) as LM24.

(disclaimer: I'm not involved with this project in any way, shape of form.)

BA and Azerbaijan Airlines will get you there, direct from Heathrow.

If you want the cheap option, change in Constantinople / Istanbul.

Hmm. . . I wouldn't want to fly with such a dodgy airline. Azerbaijan Airlines should be fine, though!

I've not got a "flagging badge" but all my international events have been as a flaggy (40+ events)?

Drop Bill an email. I don't know him personally but a number of UK based marshals have been to COTA for the F1; I dare say he has a reasonable idea of the way things work over here.

If you've flagged at international level events, are confident to do it, have no 'negative' feedback about your skilllevel (if you know what I mean) and get your MSA overseas marshalling letter, you'll be fine.

Do expect to be a 'team leader' and mentor to other flaggies - and be happy to do it.

Nothing to do with me of course, but if they want to have Grands Prix in these far off places they should be told to get on with it and not expect help from 'proper' countries. After all it is places like this that encourage Bernie by paying huge sums for the 'privilege' and put Silverstone, Monza etc at risk. They should not be encouraged, and if the drivers are prepared to race in such events, let them suffer the consequences.

Rant over ................................... (for now)!

Some people might think it is an opportunity to travel the world and have new experience's and make new friends.

I believe my point still stands, go to Baku by all means, but don't support a country that is robbing Europe of it's heritage, by buying our history.
How many Formula 1 drivers has Azerbaijan ever produced, how many teams are based there, how have they earned the right to a Grand Prix?

What have the Azerbaijanis ever done for us?

Surely the whole point of having a 'World Championship' is have races all around the world?

How is the sport to expand globally if we don't visit new countries, getting new fans and new drivers?

Living just outside Mallory Park I know how 'anti' so many people (and Politicians) are about any sort of motorsport in this country be it on 2 or 4 wheels.

Let's go to more tolerant countries.

We regularly visit Northern Ireland where my Brother in Law competes in Irish Road Racing, at events like the North West 200 & the Ulster Grand Prix. These are motorbike races around closed country lanes, what's the chance of that happening here? - less than zero I think.

I do not object to expansion, but to the contraction in traditional races, it causes. How ludicrous that we have no German, French, Dutch Grands Prix while races are held on deserted circuits like Abu Dhabi etc.

But as I said at the start, it not my business.

IMO, F1 isn't the soul of motorsport even if it is the most watched (maybe)

I think people are waking up to sports car series (WEC, Blancpain etc) - they have 'name' drivers that people maybe idolised in F1 that they can now get close to on raceday in a pitroad walkabout and get a photo and autograph. They recognise the cars for actually being closer to road cars. The cars make great noise too!

So, I don't mind what Bernie does with the F1 circus, as long as he keeps out of meddling with his competitors. It's sad how pale F1 is now compared to 25 years ago!

I'm sure British marshals will go to Baku, and I wish them good luck. It's not my cup of tea. We do what we do as a hobby, not a job, thankfully.

Embrace the variety!

I'm not complaining about this, but UK marshals had their expenses paid for that meeting.

As for me, I'd be happy to volunteer my services, if needed, but I'd expect my travel expenses to be covered. I spoke to Bill about the USGP too, but the situation there was the same ... no travel expenses.

And before I get brigaded on this, I'm not having a gripe at anyone here, and I don't expect anyone to change anything ... just a statement of fact ... if you want my services, I don't mind covering typical travel costs to UK circuits, and I may travel farther afield on my own penny, one day ... but right now I'm not willing to go to that much expense .... but if anyone is in need of my services, and will cover my costs, I'd be interested.

No accommodation costs either in the USA, loads of food and transport to the track.
