Marshal
A mostly volunteer helper – one of the many who make an event possible: they run controls and tests, direct cars and keep everything running smoothly.
Marshals (German Streckenposten) are the many, mostly volunteer, helpers who make a classic-car event possible in the first place. They run controls and tests, direct cars to parking areas and keep everything running smoothly and safely. At ADAC events they are often the same people as the local club members. A section is supervised by a sporting official (Sportwart). In German they are called Streckenposten.
