Have you ever dreamed of experiencing the thrill of a Formula 1 race without spending any money? Look no further! In this newsletter, we've revealed the secrets to getting into motorsports events for free. Get ready to make your motorsport dreams come true!
Volunteer
Volunteering opportunities often arise from circuits. Google “volunteer” and the circuit or Grand Prix you want to participate in. For instance, “volunteer Baku GP”. Keep in mind that for some events, proficiency in the country's language and demonstrable experience may be required. And even tho volunteering can be a great way to attend races for free, it’s challenging to secure a position if you’ve never worked at a track before. Start gaining experience well in advance by talking to your local motorsport places. Offer to help out at smaller races—local events often need volunteers. If there’s no circuit around, check karting or even moto shops. Helping out in these areas can open doors and surround you with people who are passionate about motorsport.
Content Creation
While this approach requires time and effort, it can be rewarding. If you love motorsport and enjoy talking about it, consider creating content for different social media. Many content creators are invited to events these days. Even if your current followers aren’t motorsport fans, you can contact teams and explain how your audience could benefit them. Also, smaller teams in different areas of motorsport, especially those with less than 10,000 followers on their accounts, might appreciate your offer to create content for them and invite you to races. Just reach out and ask!
Press Credentials
If you work in media, consider how attending races could benefit your job. The media is the most logical route for securing credentials, even if you represent a small media outlet. Contact the press service of the circuit or the specific team you are interested in well in advance to inquire about obtaining press passes.
Other Work Credentials
Remember, the motorsport industry is diverse, with opportunities in finance, logistics, photography, HR, and more. Similar to media work, consider how your current job could align with motorsport. Develop a plan to show your boss how attending races could be beneficial for your role. Additionally, reach out to F1 companies or circuits to demonstrate how your professional skills could help both parties.
Participate in Contests
Though it might seem random, participating in contests can get you race access. For Formula 1 free passes, engage in games like F1 Fantasy or F1 Play and other contests from official team websites. For example, MoneyGram and Haas currently have a contest open until June 23rd. Subscribe to team updates and keep an eye out for similar opportunities. Many teams have internal bonus programs, such as the Oracle Red Bull Racing Paddock or the Williams Grid Pass. Look for other bonus programs from your favorite teams and subscribe to participate in all of them.
Examples of past contests to keep an eye out for: Williams Racing x Vegas VIP Package, Miami x Williams VIP experience, Win Paddock Club for the Bahrain Grand Prix, Miami Grand Prix as VIP guests of the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team, Grandstand tickets for Las Vegas Grand Prix.
Collaborate with Brands
Brands often collaborate with fans and influencers for promotional activities. By partnering with relevant brands, you can secure access to races as part of an advertising deal. See which brands are collaborating with different teams and tracks, write to some of them, and find out if they have volunteer positions available.
