Marshalling means more!
The top marshals from the Motorsport Marshalling Partnership
have got to experience more than their fair share of excitement in
the last few months. The Motorsport Marshalling Partnership was
formed so that clubs could reward marshals for their valued
assistance throughout the year. Earlier this year, Raymond Linton
got the opportunity to travel to the BRC shakedown day courtesy of
Peugeot. Raymond scored most points in the Motorsport Marshalling
Partnership scheme, and was joined by runners up Colm Creaney and
Martin McCaffrey. Included in the trip was an oppertunity to get a
ride in the Alfa Romeo kit car with leading British Rally
championship contender Steve Hill.
But, it was not just the top 3 marshals that got rewarded. A
further 10 marshals won a chance to have a go at rallying for
themselves. They got a day at the Superdrive rally school, where
they could "play" in the ever sideways mark 2 Escorts. With much
enthusiasm, the marshals enjoyed the trill of driving on the loose.
However, one of the marshals, Shane McAleer from Omagh got a bit
more than he bargained for. Shane won a place in the semi-final,
and subsequently got through to the final of the Superdrive
competition to find a rally driver. The winner of the final gets
the top prize of an entry in a full stage rally using the
Superdrive Mitsubushi Lancer.
Marshals will be glad to know that they can still earn a reward for
this season. The top prizes this year are at Rally School Ireland
and Superdrive. But, it is not just the top marshals that benefit.
Every marshal that assists at qualifying events are guaranteed a
polo shirt, team shirt and a top quality waterproof suit (which are
supplied with funding from 2&4 MSG).
So why not call 078 0876 2937 to find out more, whether you are
currently a marshal or not. Or log on to www.TheMMP.com .
