Silverstone Marshals Rush To See Motor Racing Film At Northampton's Errol Flynn Filmhouse

A group of over 15 volunteer marshals from the Silverstone Marshals Team came to see hit new motor racing feature film Rush at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse in Northampton

A group of over 15 volunteer marshals from the Silverstone Marshals Team came to see hit new motor racing feature film Rush at the Errol Flynn Filmhouse in Northampton on Friday 27 September. Sporting their recognisable orange marshals overalls, the group took the opportunity to raise the profile of the work that marshals do and the opportunities to volunteer, whilst coming together to enjoy each other's company off the race circuit as well as on it.

Motor racing at Silverstone Circuit needs volunteers to ensure that races run smoothly and safely. Whether it is a Grand Prix or a club-level meeting, marshals are a vital part of the pits, paddock and trackside team, carrying out a wide range of duties which contribute to the overall efficiency, safety and success of events.

Karen Timson, Trainee Marshal of the Silverstone Marshals Team, who organised the film outing, commented: "It's a lot of fun being a marshal. You become part of a group of real enthusiasts who all enjoy motor sports whilst also working hard to ensure that motorsport is safe and fun for everyone, from competitor to spectator. The real bonus is that through marshalling clubs like this one, you have a great social life as well."

Anyone wishing to find out more about volunteering as a marshal can contact Marshals and Events Administrator Penny Norris at Silverstone Circuit on 01327 320295 or by email at penny.norris@silverstone.co.uk.

With stunning racing footage, Rush is Ron Howard's biography of the rivalry between legendary Grand Prix driver James Hunt (played by Chris Hemsworth) and Austrian champion driver Niki Lauda (Daniel Bruhl) in the 1976 Formula 1 season. The film, which has received rave reviews, can be seen at Northampton's newest cinema, the Errol Flynn Filmhouse, from Friday 27 September to Thursday 3 October.
