"Ulster-Rally" Important information for marshaling and spectating

Marshaling means more!

The top marshals from the Motorsport Marshaling Partnership have got to experience more than their fair share of excitement in the last few months. The Motorsport Marshaling Partnership was formed so that clubs could reward marshals for their valued assistance throughout the year. Earlier this year, Raymond Linton got the oppertunity to travel to the BRC shakedown day courtesy of Peugeot. Raymond scored most points in the Motorsport Marshaling 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.anicc.org.uk/subsites/mmp/.
