Marshals Caravan Renamed in Memory of Volunteer

Organisers of the Southern 100 Road Races have renamed the Marshals Caravan after a Marshal who lost his life at the 2023 Southern 100.

The family of the late Liam Clarke were present at the Club Headquarters Enclosure, when the Marshals Caravan was renamed ‘The Liam Clarke Centre’.

Liam’s wife Mandy along with daughters Sabrina and Tina were welcomed by Club Chaplain and Welfare Officer Rev. John Coldwell, before officially renaming the facility in Liam’s honour and memory.

John Coldwell said: ‘Renaming the Marshals Unit was an apt tribute to a well loved and liked marshal, who was happiest when with his fellow Orange Army colleagues.’

Liam’s daughter, Sabrina commented on the renaming: ‘He would be ‘buzzing’ at the thought he would be remembered in such a way, he liked his motorbikes, his road racing, the camaraderie of marshalling and a beer.

‘The Southern 100 Family is really a family in very sense of the word.’
