Wildthing, go for it, if you don't, you'll always regret not trying
Rtrorkt bet you never imagined you'd end up marshaling F1 races, let alone in Azerbaijan, really pleased for you
Paul, that sounds like some amazing experiences, I too look forward to hearing about Baku adventures
You asked and look how much trouble it's got you into
Was only 25yrs old and got myself into a heap of fun trouble, will spare the long story which is quite funny
I asked to volunteer.....
With no previous experience and within a few months I became Technical Commissioner working for the Union Internationale Motonautique (powerboat racing world governing body) looking after the F1 inshore powerboat series which is the highest level of world championship inshore powerboat racing
I wrote cockpit safety rules, went to Monaco for meetings, in charge of all boat technical scrutineers, inspections and boat safety at events in countries like France, Germany, Greece, Russia, Italy, UAE
Firm believer of, 'if you don't ask you don't get!'
