 Hi all you drivers out there. Thought you might like to know that someone down South considers the SMRC Marshals worthy of a trip to Abu Dhabi. A few months ago, BARC sent out application letters to some marshals North of the border and invited them to apply to officiate at the Abu Dhabi GP 2009. I for one was one of the lucky ones to be selected along with four others that I know. Not sure how many SMRC marshals were asked but hey, its good that we are represented!!! Not bad considering that everything is paid for including our flights, hotel, food & transfers, roll on November! Will give you all a wave if we're caught on camera. Stuart

I think I'll give up driving and take up marshalling!  Seriously that is great news and have fun. I'll keep an eye out for the See you Jimmy hat will I? Do foreign marshals normally get invited to GP's abroad - or is it due to this being a new GP they want some experienced folks to help run the show? |

Its basically the fact that its a new GP.
they want experianced marshals ou there and also to train the local's.
this is going to be fun, broad scottish accents and trying to tell local arabs what you want doing!!!

Nice one, Stuart.... must get myself on that list! I think I have to do the Touring Car meeting before that will happen? I did email the guy you told me to.
If the locals are anything like those you experienced at the GT race there, you could be in for an interesting time!!
Any chance you could get us a programme? Will pay of course!!!
