BECOMING AN OFFICIAL AT BSCC EVENTS

The Brisbane Sporting Car Club (BSCC) is a not‑for‑profit organisation that depends on the dedication and expertise of volunteer officials. Volunteering provides an opportunity to be closely involved in motorsport within a safe, well‑organised environment, while contributing to the success of events across South-East Queensland.

Why Volunteer?

BSCC officials form the backbone of every event. Volunteers gain hands‑on experience, work alongside an enthusiastic community, and enjoy unique access to motorsport activities. Many officials progress to senior roles, including positions at major national and international events such as the World Rally Championship. A large number of competitors also begin their motorsport journey as officials to understand event operations before moving into competition.

Getting Started

New volunteers can obtain a Motorsport Australia Trainee Officials Licence at an event, making the onboarding process simple. BSCC is affiliated with Motorsport Australia, which provides a structured training pathway through online and face‑to‑face modules. As volunteers gain experience, they can upgrade their licence to Bronze, Silver, or Gold, all of which are recognised nationally and open opportunities across a wide range of motorsport disciplines.

Types of Events

BSCC supports several forms of motorsport, each requiring trained officials:

  • Rally: Conducted on closed public or forest roads.
  • Off‑Road Racing: Held on private land with the landowner’s approval.
  • Touring Road Events: Non‑speed events conducted on public roads.

Roles Available

A variety of roles are essential to ensure events run safely and efficiently:

  • Road Closure Officials: Manage access to closed roads, maintain safety, and monitor for unauthorised entry.
  • Control Officials: Oversee timing, start and finish procedures, and manage the flow of competitors.
  • Course Car Officials: Travel ahead of and behind the field to confirm road conditions and ensure competitor safety.
  • HQ/Radio Officials: Operate the event’s radio network and support overall event control.

Additional Information

BSCC events are held throughout South-East Queensland and offer a family‑friendly, outdoor environment supported by a passionate community. Those interested in becoming involved can contact the club via Facebook, email (info@bscc.asn.au), or by phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
