Yesterday marked the grand finale of the MSV season with the EnduroKa 500 at the iconic Brands Hatch. As I stood at Post 5, the entry to the Druids hairpin, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia. This event, showcasing the spirited racing of the EnduroKa series, was a perfect way to wrap up an incredible year of motorsport.
From the moment the first cars hit the track, the atmosphere was electric. The sounds of revving engines and the smell of rubber filled the air, setting the stage for a day packed with thrilling action. My fellow marshals and I shared plenty of laughs and banter, creating a camaraderie that made the long hours on post feel effortless. It’s these moments—working alongside passionate individuals—that truly make marshalling such a rewarding experience.
A special shoutout goes to our amazing commentator, Chris Dawes (@DawesRacing), who provided exceptional coverage throughout the day. Commentating solo is no small feat, yet Chris managed to keep the energy high and the audience engaged, offering insightful commentary and entertaining anecdotes. Thank you, Chris, for your dedication and for making the day even more enjoyable for everyone involved!
As the checkered flag waved, it was clear that the EnduroKa 500 was a fitting conclusion to the season. With each race, we witnessed fierce competition and sportsmanship that embodies the spirit of motorsport. Watching the teams give their all on the track was a reminder of why we love this sport so much.
To all my fellow marshals, thank you for your hard work and dedication this season. I cherish the memories we’ve made and the friendships we’ve built. As we head into the off-season, I wish you all a restful break. Let’s recharge our batteries and get ready for an exciting 2025 season ahead!
Here’s to the EnduroKa 500 and the fantastic community of marshals that makes it all possible. See you all in March 2025! 🏁
