It looks more like a catering & glass polishing role. If I had finished my catering course!

Thanks Toby, I’ll have that one on the back burner in case other plans don’t work out. 
It might not just be F1, many other series have some impressive hospitality set-ups.
Wheel Nut you’re propably right about the catering and glass polishing, although looking at the advert it says driver & riggers. Sounds more like turning up and setting up the motorhome (hospitatlity) then packing it up at the end of the event, what ever it will be a lot more grafting than truck driving and not a lot of chance to see any racing.
Steady eddies drivers were doing something similar in the tv prog.

I noticed that Moto GP was also mentioned on the website, so it is probably corporate hospitality for main sponsors and team owners
I met somebody from that company last year on the santander ferry, on their way to portugal for the gp.
they pull those big caravan things fifth wheelers? not always hgv sometimes just small vans and 4x4’s
It’s similar to the roadshows I’ve done, the driving is secondary, often I would only drive one day a week between venues.
Then I would have to position the trailer and set it up, which could take most of the day, get on the roof and put the flagpoles and flashing up, get all of the audio and visual systems working, set up the displays etc.
When the show was on I would sometimes serve drinks or snacks, maybe get a taxi across the city to source an item we needed, keep everything working, manage the local catering crew and do my share of cleaning too, but I was never treated as a dogsbody, everybody mucks in and I have seen some serious bigwigs from BP roll up their sleeves and push a mop around rather than just leaving everything to me.
I used to love it, there was a real team spirit to it if you were with the right crew.
you,ve been around harry
