Baku Marshals Club (BMC) has started the marshal registration program for the Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2024.

Anyone over the age of 21 can join the marshals program, Azernews reports.

"Participants in the marshalling program will have the chance to become integral contributors to the Grand Prix, simultaneously experiencing the thrill of the race from the closest proximity to the track," the press service said.

"Every marshal who successfully completes the race weekend will receive an international license issued by the Azerbaijan Automobile Federation (AAF) and recognized by the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). This license will enable marshals to partake in events not only within Azerbaijan but also in other countries hosting Formula 1 Grand Prix and other sports car competitions."
