I know a couple of people, 1 of which did the training this year and 1 who has marshalled for a few years. The guy who did the training this year decided against doing any events and the other marshalls at about 4-5 events a year (BSB at Oulton and at Redgate for Donington Moto GP every year). She enjoys doing it, but says you have to remember they are very long days. Raceday at Oulton for example means getting there at 8am to sign on and standing on the same corner for 9 hours or more, come rain or shine. And although you are on the otherside of the fence, it can be difficult to actually 'watch' the racing as a spectator would as you need to be constantly on the ball in case summat happens.

I think Racesafe (the BSB marshalls) were over run with applications this year due to their advertising on ITV during BSB races last year and there aren't as many Racesafe marshall places at Donington Moto GP this year (i was told why but can't remember now).
