This would be a fitting tribute to a man who gave his life to motorsport and should be remembered along with all the stars of motorsport as they are named after track corne

Marshalls are amazing people that give a lot up to let's us race. They deserve this type of recognition when they suffer for what they have given to us.

Rob was my friend of nearly 40 years and this would be such a lovely tribute to him. He would be so chuffed, I'm sure.

Volunteers and track Marshall’s are one of the most important pieces to a successful race weekend. Whether it be at club level, or international events, without them there is no racing. What has happened at Brands Hatch has shook the whole Motorsport community worldwide.

Marshals are a major part of the bsb or any other racing event and it is about time these people were recognised and by doing a simple act of naming the tunnel after rob foote who died at brands hatch while volunteering and remember these are volunteers, it would be a massive boost to not only the Marshalls but to millions of fans and to all the teams affected by this sad incident.

Ron Goring (Sandwell, 2021-08-06)

Marshals are the only reason motor sport exists
Nameing this after Robert is the very least Brands hatch can do.
I would like to see more
A fund set up for all marshals in case of accidents and funded by all the professionals drivers who earn millions out of the sport
