For those of you in the greater Austin, TX, US area that are interested in being in much closer proximity to the cars, I received this email yesterday:
-----------
This is the Workers Wanted list from MotorsportReg.com.
Usually we only email you if you’re within 300 miles of the event venue that needs workers. But these are such high-profile events that you’d consider travelling for, we’re opening it up to our entire list.
The World Endurance Championship starts THIS WEEK at COTA. No experience is necessary (though preferred) and it will qualify you to work the Formula 1 Grand Prix in October.
The Formula 1 US Grand Prix is October 19- 22 and experience is required for all volunteer positions.
Here’s more from Sydney Davis Yagel:

Join us for the World Endurance Championship weekend and qualify to work the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix!
We are looking for Flagging and Communications volunteers for our upcoming WEC event. With the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, we are short some marshals and could use some additional help. Experience is preferred, but not necessary. However, experience is required for the Formula 1 weekend, so working this event will give you the experience you need to apply. Details and registration links for each event are below.
Each weekend comes with COTA goodies, one GA ticket for a friend or family member, most meals, free camping or discounted hotel rates, and more than a few surprises!
