Go Trialling - The marshal
Marshals are essential to the smooth running of all motorsport events but marshalling on a MCC trial is a unique experience, especially for those more used to speed events where marshals and competitors rarely meet, let alone indulge in cheery conversation and good-natured banter. The MCC is also unusual in needing a very large number of marshals to make the events run smoothly and the club counts itself extremely fortunate that there are so many individuals, not all of whom are members of the club, who turn out in all weathers to help.
So what can you expect from marshalling on one of the three major MCC trials? All MCC sections are drive-through so you will see every competitor, whether powering up the hill to a 'clean', attached to the end of a tow rope, or even being assisted by yourself and the other willing helpers! You will see a competitor passing every minute, on average, for between five and six hours - our trials normally attract between 300 and 350 entrants on two, three, and four wheels. And you will experience the unique atmosphere and camaraderie of an MCC trial - once experienced, never forgotten.
If you've never seen an MCC trial, or maybe you've been a spectator and would like to get more involved without going to the effort and expense of preparing a car for competition, then why not give marshalling a try? You'll be assured of a warm welcome, whatever the time of day ... or night! With several hundred marshals needed for our main events we're always looking for new recruits and the club has produced a booklet - Marshalling Arts - to explain about marshalling on our events in more detail than we could possibly go into on this website.
So, how do you become a marshal on one of our events? Go to the Home Page, select the trial which interests you, and download the Supplementary Regulations and Entry Form "pack" when it is available. Although intended mainly for competitors, the entry paperwork always includes the name, address, telephone number, and email of the Chief Marshal - who will be delighted to hear from you.
