Here’s how to become a Formula 1 race marshal

There are a variety of ways for race fans to get involved in motorsport, whether by buying race tickets, pursuing a career in racing, or volunteering as a marshal. Marshals play a vital role in motorsport, ensuring races run smoothly, from flagging to scrutineering, with volunteers dedicating their time at racetracks globally. Sam Walker, a volunteer development manager at Motorsport UK, highlights the rewarding nature of marshalling as a way to give back to the sport. Starting as a die-hard race fan, Walker transitioned into marshalling, which became almost an addiction due to his love for motorsport. The process of becoming a dedicated safety marshal involves reaching out to local clubs, completing online courses, and gaining hands-on experience at race weekends, with opportunities to specialize in various marshalling roles and advance through structured training programs such as the Marshals Pathway offered in the UK.
