Chennai: The Indian Motorsport Marshals Club (IMMC) has been formed as a national-level organisation to provide race officials and marshals to manage the inaugural Indian Formula One Grand Prix at the Jaypee Circuit, Noida, near Delhi, Oct 30.
Under the auspices of the Federation of Motorsport Sports Clubs of India (FMSCI) and the international FIA Institute of Motor Safety, the IMMC have just completed the first-level training programme, according to a media release from FSMCI.
Those willing to volunteer for marshalling can sign up online at www.immc.in. Those shortlisted will then go through a selection and training programme. The MSA will provide support throughout 2011 up to and including the Grand Prix itself, the release added.
This training is part of a thorough on-going programme of support and development provided by the Royal Automobile Club Motor Sports Association of the UK (MSA). Two trainers, Sue Sanders and Ian Watson, have spent time working with the country's senior motorsports officials who will undertake training of new and existing marshals across the country.
Sanders said: 'The people we have worked with have been so enthusiastic; it's been a real pleasure to work with them. They seem to be very passionate about motorsports and we are looking forward to helping out in any way possible.'
Watson commented: 'There are certain individuals within the group who are very experienced and they have proven throughout the week their intention and determination to deliver very high quality training for all marshals.'
The MSA training team will be back to provide further support in the build-up to the event and some of the senior officials might also visit at least one other F1 GP for intensive hands-on tracks-side training at all levels including the conclusion of the Train-The-Trainers Course.
As a result of the formation of the IMMC, the FMSCI will soon have a large pool of licensed marshals to officiate at all the FMSCI events around the country on a need be basis, thereby adding further improvements to the administration of the sport, the release said.
