I believe that a normal payment for a marshall is in the region of £20-£30 - an MSA offical £30-£50 subject to track etc.
So you arrive somewhere at 9am leave 5pm assuming no protests etc. Usually get 15-20 mins for lunch if lucky, can often be that lunch is removed and done on a rotation pattern so that the racers get to race.
So 8 hours for £50 = £6.25 per hour - you then have the cost of getting there, the cost of your own high viz etc adn all the abuse. As an MSA offical you have to attend x number of meetings to keep your licence and x number of seminars per year.
You work that out for a marshall on £30 = £3.75 per hour. Not exactly what I would call a pay is it.
