The idea popped up in the 1980s as the number of FIA race venues
expanded globally and some questions were raised about the quality of
local marshaling talent -- a core group of 100 or so FIA-licensed
"professional marshals" to improve consistency and supplement locals.

Time to revive it now that F1 and other events are essentially
year-round and some venues lack FIA-caliber marshaling?

There's always room for more FIA benefit packed perk jobs. You want a
solution? Have FOTA pick the marshalls.
