I’m signing because, as a retired commentator,
I’m saddened at this fatality and because I so much admire our wonderful marshals and the brilliant work they do.

I have been to brands many times and the tunnel is used all the time during a race weekend. This is a fantastic idea and hopefully we can all get it across the line and for it to be a symbolic tribute to Robert and all other Marshall’s around the country and world. We cannot go racing without you.

I agree with the petition.

This is a great idea to identify the sad loss of a member of the Motorsport Support community (The Orange Army in this case) and all that they give to ensure so many can enjoy motorsport without which we would not have that pleasure.

My thoughts are with the family and friends

Robert, should be remembered, for his hours of voluntary work to motosrsport.
Also a plaque on the tunnel to remember him.

Without these marshals, who give their time freely for a sport that they love, there would be no motorsport. 🧡

As a marshal at Warton Stock Car Club I know the risks and dangers too well of motorsport and whilst incidents like this are very rare it is important that they are not forgotten and by having the tunnel named after Mr Foote, it would be a lifelong tribute and reminder to all who participate.

I’m signing because, having been involved in Motorsport all my life, I’m fully aware there wouldn’t be any Motorsport without the Orange Army and there’s not enough appreciation for them. The fact that Robert died in the course of facilitating other people’s fun, should be formally recognised.
