Marshalls are crucial to motor racing. Without them, racing wouldn't be able to happen. Naming this tunnel after Robert Foote would be a tribute not only to him, but to all the Orange Army. Please do this! 🧡

As a sponsor in motor racing, I understand that these events could not take place without the incredible support of the marshals.
The renaming would serve as a permanent reminder to many, of the risks these heros make to everybody involved.

I have full admiration, for all the Volunteers who help make our sport possible especially the tireless work our Orange Arm do,, they stand out in all weathers and deal with what ever situation is put before them in such a Professional and efficient way. Tragically Robert has given the most presious thing he had. RIP Robert Foote

Marshall’s allow us to go racing, people to watch motorsport and are generally unsung heroes. This would serve as a memorial and tribute not only to Robert but to all those in the future who don the orange overalls.

The marshals need to be recognised for the incredible work they do. The risks they take. With out them motorsport wouldn’t go ahead. They do it for the love of motorsport.
