Rally marshal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In motor racing, a rally marshal is a marshal who is experienced and/or trained in the area of rallying.

They hold different duties than a track marshal, as they are isolated from other marshals and radio cars are spaced out along the course of a stage. They are there for the safety of the competitors, but in spectated rallies, they also may be required to control any spectators that may be present. Spectators can be of great danger to the drivers, and also if not aware of the cars they may put themselves in great danger.
