We’re excited to announce that this year, Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. is launching a marshal program in collaboration with US Race Management (USRM), aimed at providing more opportunities to local residents interested in becoming new marshals. The positions available range from flagging, track conditions communications to pit lane and grid marshals.
“We had over 1,000 seasoned marshals apply to support the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix last year,” said Silvia Bellot, VP Sporting and Race Operations at Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. “We hope to welcome back familiar faces and have new ones join us to help ensure the safety of our drivers and spectators. With the introduction of our new marshal program, our goal is to welcome even more marshals from Southern Nevada.”
Compete For 600 Marshal Positions
Race marshals will promote overall efficiency and safety of the event. US Race Management and Las Vegas Grand Prix, Inc. will oversee the selection process for the 600 marshal positions, which include:
Flagging & Communication Marshals: Responsible for communicating track conditions using various flags—yellow, green, red, and blue—as well as safety car boards and light signals to Race Control via radio.
Intervention Marshals: Provide assistance during on-track incidents, offer trackside support for drivers and fellow marshals and aid in vehicle recovery. Must be able to carry a 20lb fire extinguisher, run long distances and feel comfortable on a hot track with cars and safety equipment.
Pit Lane and Grid Marshals: Assist with pit lane and grid safety and discipline.
Marshal Support: Aid in hospitality, registration, equipment management and transport for other marshals.
Selected marshals are required to serve throughout the entirety of the event from November 20-23, and will be contracted to fulfill these duties with compensation in the form of value-in-kind goods and/or services, to include a subsidy for the official marshal host hotel.
International applicants must have valid U.S. work authorization.
