Thursday, 8 August 20133 min read

Circuit of The Americas has opened volunteer registration for the 2013 F1 United States Grand Prix from November 15-17.

The joint venture with the Austin Sports Commission develops a regional force of volunteers for various events throughout the area, including Formula 1.

A link to the volunteer sign-up page is available on the Circuit’s website at http://circuitoftheamericas.com/volunteer.

"Our strong volunteer force was vital in operating the inaugural Formula 1 race, as well as all other events at our venue," said Steve Sexton, president and CEO of Circuit of the Americas.

"We look forward to bringing back the wonderful volunteers from past events, as well as recruiting new volunteers for what is sure to be an even bigger and better event."

Volunteer positions are available in two areas: Sustainability and Wayfinding.

Sustainability volunteers assist with various duties that ensure environmental policies are being met during the event.

Wayfinding volunteers work with the Guest Services department to assist guests with questions, directions and general information about the venue.

Nonprofit organisations or other groups interested in volunteering together may register for group volunteer opportunities.

In addition to the Formula 1 event, this registration system is used to recruit volunteers for a variety of motorsports and entertainment events occurring at the new track.

Individuals are also able to sign up for events recruited to the city by the Austin Sports Commission.

Individuals that volunteer have the benefit of experiencing the return of Formula 1 to the only purpose-built Grand Prix racetrack in the United States.

Volunteers will also receive specialised training by experienced Circuit staff, branded clothing to wear during volunteer hours and an invitation to participate in special events leading up to race day.
