Motorsport Marshal

Motorsport Marshal

Motorsport marshals contribute to enjoyable, efficient, and safer motor racing. They are responsible for the safety of competitors and are stationed at various points of danger around race tracks to assist them in case of any collisions, accidents or track problems. Marshals are also known as course workers, corner workers, corner crews, turn marshals, corner marshals, track safety workers, or other equivalents around the world.

A rally marshal holds much the same duties, but are present at rallies. They are usually housed in posts along the stage of a rally at junctions, to be of aid if a car has an accident.

Professional top racing organizations like NASCAR, Indycar, and others, employ small bodies of full-time paid workers that are highly organized and trained. They are often augmented by volunteers that make up the majority of workers, especially at amateur levels such as Kart racing.
