I'm signing because without the Orange Army events would not be able to take place. They give their time freely and are are the highly experienced in what they do.

Without marshals there would be no racing of any kind
They are out there in all weathers for our enjoyment

A very worthy petition. Without marshals we wouldn't get to watch the sports we love on track. Let's get the tunnel renamed in Roberts honour!

Without the marshals there would be no racing. Robert deserves this as a legacy for his services to motorsport

Without marshalls.. we would not have our beloved motorsports. As competitors we accept the risks of injury or death... these heroes in orange do the same and only get a fraction of the glory and they all need to recognised.

I think they all do a fantastic job. We have been going motor racing for more than 40 years and have seen first hand the job they do in all weather conditions

Marshalls give there time to support British motorsport and this man gave the sport his life he deserves recognition

Without Marshals there would be no motorsport and the loss of one is an absolute tragedy.

Philip Mitchell (Carterton, 2021-08-04)

Without marshalls, the sport cannot continue. They voluntarily sacrifice their time for a sport they love, and that is through all weathers.
On Saturday Robert Foote sacrificed more than any marshall should ever have done. And for that reason I find it fitting to have the tunnel named in his memory, and in solute to all marshalls who continue to make our sport possible.

I’m signing because as a fellow Marshal this is a worthwhile thing for the track to do as he lost his life doing something that he loved just like we all do every weekend.

He was a fellow marshal, a normal guy doing what he loved, it's a small thing to do to name it after him, he will then always be somewhere he loved.
