Marshalling

CompetitorThe 2009 Rockingham Stages was held over the weekend of Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th December and was a joint promotion betweenThame Motorsport Club and Middlesex County Automobile Club

Thank you to everyone for supporting this year's Rockingham Stages, especially the officials, marshals, radio crews and safety personnel, because without their help and assistance on the event it just would not be possible. They braved the cold and rain to support what was, once again, an outstanding weekend's motorsport. Without the support and assistance of volunteer marshals an event of this size could not take place and their help in turning the stages around made a significant difference. Despite the adverse weather conditions the Chief Marshal reported smiling faces and 'thumbs up' from marshals and competitors.

A marshal's draw was held after the event and we offer our congratulations to the winners:-

Vehicle access for Radio Crews / Marshals

In previous years rumours were circulating among potential marshals and radio crews that they would be unable to take their vehicles onto the circuit and will be bussed to their posts.

While this is true for Race meetings it DOES NOT APPLY to the Rally. All the radio cars and most of the marshals will be able to use their vehicles. There may be a few points where marshals will be unable to park their vehicles and will have a short walk from their cars - but that is no different to any other stage rally. All marshals within the centre of the circuit will have vehicle access to the centre of the circuit.
