2023 Dick Mayo Sprint: Marshals Required!

Marshals

We are short of marshals for the Dick Mayo Sprint next Saturday 22nd July.  Whether you’re experienced or not, we have space for you at the event.  In exchange for your time, you will get an unrivalled view of the competition with a roof to shade the sun and a free hot lunch.  Get in touch with Andrew Thompson if you can help.

Spectators

There is no charge for spectators.  Please use the competitors entrance and park on the grass.  Practice starts at 09:00 and timed runs will commence shortly afterwards, likely around 11:00 with a break for lunch likely after the first timed runs.  You can listen to commentary through the live stream on Facebook and YouTube and live timing on the TSL Timing website.  The cafe will be open all day with indoor and outdoor seating, hot food and toilets.  You can view the competition from the spectator banking around the circuit and see the cars and drivers up close in the paddock.  Download the entry list here or view below.
