2012 Malaysian GP volunteers

[TrueBlueFlyer]

Is anyone on here volunteering for the next Petronas Grand Prix at Sepang?

This was my very first F1 event live, I went as a spectator this year because I lived in Singapore and was able to fly up for race day... next year I'd love to go as a volunteer. I've bugged them enough through official channels that they finally responded with an e-mail saying "someone will contact me closer to the actual race" but I'm impatient.


Already booked my flight from New Zealand and just in case bought the 33RM ~ $10USD grass-pass... but again would much rather be on the track itself.
So if someone else is going, please let me know who to contact so I can join as well.

Cheers!

I think, like with any other GP, you would apply directly online: http://www.sepangcircuit.com/marshal/

However after not hearing much from them I did a little research and fired off a bunch of e-mails inquiring about how to get myself accepted. The most direct response I've gotten so far is: Sepang circuit will hold a training seminar in either January or February, which will end with a written test. After completing this test you will qualify for participation at Sepang as a volunteer.

I asked if there was an option for overseas officials to start out as trainees like in Australia... but no response yet. We'll see
