Respect from a Marshal

[Alan Vant]

When I received my timetable for Brands Hatch I had a quick look down and saw the 2CV race. When I saw it was for 2 hours I thought about pulling out of the meeting. Well we are short on numbers on the bank and I thought I could not do this to my fellow marshals. I had previously only marshaled 1 2CV race before, and not from one of the better posts.

By the end of practice myself and the other marshals on post 4a, the one with the big gravel trap at the bottom of paddock, were left wanting more. We all enjoyed the sight of a pack of 2CV's coming round Paddock Hill with some strange lines.

Come the race we could not believe how close and clean the racing was. We had two visitors to our lovelly beach, car 12 whose bonnet decided that across the screen was best and car 59 who was in 3rd place at the time. The 2 hours passed by so quickly. I will be looking out for this race again next year and will certainly marshal more 2CV races.

Thanks for a great race and being a friendly bunch of competitors.

As chairman of the 2CV racing club I can only agree with Helen's comments

Glad you enjoyed the race as much as we all did!!

How about trying to do our 24 hour race at the end of May? If you thought Brands was good, you will love this one!!!

Look forward to seeing you on the posts again
