Marshalling the troops

Jamaican motorsports has been bolstered through a training workshop put on by the Jamaica Millennium Motoring Club (JMMC), with the support of the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA).

The event took place October 31 through November 1 at the S Hotel, New Kingston.

“I had put forward the proposal in 2024 and applied for the grant funding as I realised there was a need for training of our officials and volunteers as the sport lost a lot of experienced persons coming out of the pandemic. Some of the new persons, while they were enthusiastic in taking on the task of trying to rebuild the sport, were not sufficiently knowledgeable in some key areas. I conceptualised this training to help fill that gap,” Marcia Dawes, project manager, told the Jamaica Observer’s weekly Auto magazine.
