Member of British Rally Marshals club since 2001. Started off marshaling at Oulton Park on the bank and then did a couple of years in the pit lane marshalling. Spend my marshaling time now on safety radio and other roles as and when required on rallies. My passion is with rally marshaling and really enjoy a day in the forests or at single venue rallies either as a radio marshal or any other role that’s needed. Single venue events are really good as you see a lot more. Anglesey is my favourite circuit for single venue stage rallies closely followed by Weeton.
