Saw them messing about a bit with this using a tractor during the set up phase and there was a hint about it being a new game.

Steam surfing, the latest and greatest island attraction, gamely demonstrated by the rally “yellow shirts”.

A fab event as always

Default Marshall
If my understanding is correct the Marshall was the first of the “Faithfull” type - ordered by a Mr Faithfull with a very short wheelbase for the island lanes and yards. There’s another in Ireland and one in Suffolk.
