At the culmination of a successful season of racing, the Historic Sports Car Club has made a £500 donation to the funds of the British Motorsport Marshals' Club.

The cheque was presented to Sue Whitlock of the BMMC during the HSCC's annual dinner dance and awards presentation and was handed over by guest of honour Chris Craft and the club's CEO, Grahame White.

White paid tribute to the support that the club receives from the BMMC in particular and the marshalling fraternity in general. "The club is very, very fortunate to enjoy good support from the marshals. Generally, we get good marshalling numbers for our race meetings. I think that the marshals appreciate that we have big grids and a wonderful variety of cars.

"We never take their support for granted, but we do try and deliver race meetings that they enjoy and that run to time, which I know is important. The feedback we get is that our drivers treat the marshals with respect, and I think that is another key element of maintaining good marshalling levels at our events."

The club will soon be issuing its 2011 race calendar and looks forward to renewed support from the BMMC.
