The MRF India Rally 2004

GTO · 13th July 2004, 01:25

Team-BHP and the Himalayan Rally Association (www.indiarally.com) would like to offer Team-BHPians the chance of being a vital part of the MRF India Rally 2004.

From being present right where the action is to having important responsibilities - it should be a very enjoyable experience for all involved. I cant stress enough as to how valuable this entire experience will be...You will get an insiders view on the Indian & International motorsport scenario, and at the same time witness some of the best International machinery going pedal to the metal. No prior experience is necessary, and you will be provided with adequate training toward your responsibilities.

A professional attitude is key. This is serious stuff, and please be absolutely certain of your commitment before you register.

If you have any questions, feel free to post here and we will try to answer them to the best of our knowledge.

Hey Turbo,

well, there is no hard and fast rule with regards to the age of volunteers and there are people as young as 15 volunteering for different posts. Although it would be better I would think if the person is above 18.

How old are you anyways?

We may not have our own cars to drive, but, we can still get some experience.

Hey cool, I was a timekeeper for a quite a few rallies in Kisumu, Kenya. Its fun, but being a marshall is even more fun, you get to roam around, do the routes and ensure its all clear. Will definitely do this, especially since its going to be in my current homewtown Pune. How many of you guys are planing to do this, I say the more the merrier.

raul · 20th July 2004, 03:20

Even better depending on the number of people interested I suggest we form a group and take over an entire timestop or 2. What say?
