MINDARIE STORE What do we do? Flag marshals are an integral part of any Motor Racing meeting. We are additional "eyes and ears" to the drivers, which helps them compete as competitively and as safely as possible. By the use of various coloured flags we signal warnings and other information to the drivers on the circuit, while they are practicing, qualifying or racing Where do we do it? We flag at WA Sporting Car Club (WASCC) meetings at Barbagallo Raceway situated 35 km north of How much time will be required? On average meetings are held once a month but can vary depending on the type of events run. A typical club race meeting is held on a Sunday and requires flaggies to be at the track around
How old must I be? You must be 18 years old to gain access to the competition area (the track). If you are between 16 and 18, you will need guardians consent. What do I need to bring? Long trousers and covered shoes are essential. A hat and warmer clothes for most meetings are preferred, (it can get breezy). Please avoid wearing bright tops or jackets, such as Red, Yellow, Green, Blue or florescent colours (like reflective safety vests). Snacks you may want to eat and a Thermos of Coffee etc, you can take a back pack out with you to the flag point. What do we provide? We will provide Overalls, Sun Block, Ear Plugs and Wet Weather Gear, plus during the “officials break” we provide a Meal (pies, plus meat and salad rolls or similar) plus cool drinks to take out on the course with you as well. Not forgetting we’ll train you in the flagging rules as well. Do I need any experience? Please don't worry if you do not have any flag marshal experience, everyone has to start somewhere and our senior members will gladly show you the ropes and guide you through a meeting or two. If you enjoy it, you can come back some more and sign up with the club. We do not throw you out on a flag point by yourself, you will always be with an experienced official and it's really not that hard to do. What does it cost to join the WFMA full time? WFMA membership is only $20 for a working Adult or $10 for concessions per annum, (or part thereof). Your membership is not only a commitment to the club, but also helps pay for basic associated costs during the year, such as newsletters, facilities etc. As a member of the WFMA, you are automatically joined to the WA Sports Car Club (WASCC), which offers free entry into club meetings for you and a guest who attends with you, (they do not have to flag, they can just be a spectator). You will have the satisfaction of being able to contribute to an exciting sport, plus get up close to the action on the "other" side of the fence. You will enjoy being part of a group of enthusiasts, who share the passion of motor racing, as well as forming some great friendships and having some fun along the way.
