The British GP is one of the marquee events of the F1 calendar, but holding it successfully would not be possible without the help of some of the hard-working volunteers who make the race weekend run smoothly: the Race Makers.
The British Grand Prix is a significant event on the Formula 1 calendar, greatly aided by the hard work of volunteers known as Race Makers. These dedicated individuals ensure the smooth running of the race weekend.
As Race Makers, we are part of a team of 500 volunteers at Silverstone, with the goal of enhancing the customer experience, similar to the ‘Games Makers’ at the 2012 London Olympics.
Our days are long and physically demanding, from walking over 100,000 steps to helping over half a million fans enjoy the event. Despite the exhaustion, the joy of making people smile and seeing them leave happy is incredibly rewarding.
Interacting with celebrities and supporting fans in various ways, from finding their seats to assisting with medical issues, adds to the fulfilling experience of being a Race Maker. The program has evolved over the years, contributing to Silverstone’s high customer experience ratings.
While we don’t receive monetary compensation, the camaraderie, sense of purpose, and the opportunity to be a part of creating unforgettable experiences for fans make volunteering at the British Grand Prix truly special.
