Title: Marshalling at LM24
Post by: Martini...LB on February 10, 2019, 05:27:54 pm: Hi Guys, I have been asked if anyone can help with a query about marshaling at Le Mans. The brother of a friend does a lot of marshaling and would like to do Le Mans, he has been in touch but they tell him there is only a form in French, which I suppose you can understand. Does anyone know differently or can help with any info as to how it all works, is there a waiting list, can it be done through a UK organisation etc.

Thanks
Martini

If you are an ACO member, there is a registration process in the members portal, (yep - all in French) where you can register your interest in becoming a marshall at LM.
Beyond that, I could not say what the waiting time / entry selection process would be.

(Will need to login as a member to view the page correctly).

Suggest that it might be prudent to contact a UK Marshall association, British Motorsports Marshalls Club or Silverstones Marshall Team?

I recall that a couple of years ago, there was a big shake up with the LM marshals, but I think this was just a French thing, rather than the British courses/training/grading system, which I assume you've progressed through.

Contact the marshals clubs CLK has mentioned, ASAP.

Excellent location too - how very civilised!

Registration for LM has opened, I can ask some of my european based marshal friends about what they need to do
