Goodyear FIA ETRC shines the spotlight on FIA Volunteers and Officials Month

Volunteers and officials power motor sport in every corner of the globe. From flag marshals to scrutineers, race directors to medical and rescue crews, there would be no Goodyear FIA ETRC without the diverse army of dedicated individuals who keep motor sport running safely, fairly and smoothly. It is estimated that globally there are over 300,000 formal, unpaid officials, marshals, and volunteers, covering more than 60,000 motor sport events staged every year.

FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem said: “Volunteers and officials are the lifeblood of our sport. Without their dedication, professionalism and passion, we could not go racing or rallying. Last year, we launched the first Volunteers and Officials Month and came together across our Federation to host events and recognise the vital role volunteers and officials play across our sport.”

Valerio Iachizzi, FIA Secretary General for Sport, added: “Through the FIA Officials Department, we’re providing more training and development opportunities to volunteers and officials than ever before and supporting the race makers who enable motor sport in every part of the world.”
