Shannons SpeedSeries official Georgia Bolton’s experience came to light at this year’s EVENTelec GT Festival Queensland. The first-year pit lane marshal was seconded into Race Control when an unexpected need arose for a light panel operator.

Bolton quickly adapted to the situation and picked up her new duties for the job at hand.

With no prior experience in a Race Control role, Bolton was able to shift her focus quickly and apply specific protocols, including Safety Car and Red Flag procedures when instructed.

Bolton’s nominator described her as knowledgeable, fast learning and adaptable.

The event also marked 12 months since she first began her officiating journey at the 2024 Shannons SpeedSeries EVENTelec GT Festival Queensland event.

Bolton also completed the Bronze Circuit licence assessment at the NTI Townsville 500 Supercars event.

Working predominantly within pit lane, Bolton has been able to perfect her craft and has since started training newer officials at events.

Georgia has also started her journey as a Steward. Furthermore, at the GC500 event in 2024, Georgia was awarded the Gold Race Officials award for the event.

To thank Georgia for her invaluable contribution to the sport, she will receive a $100 Supercheap Auto gift card, commemorative pin and certificate.
