A company called Baku City Circuit since 2016 holds F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Grand Prix encircles the central streets of Baku. Approximately one month before the race, the city starts to transform and becomes a racetrack. While racetrack is getting ready, Baku City Circuit hires volunteers and marshals and train them until the race. Volunteers are mainly university students who want to enjoy the race spirit, whereas the marshals are adults who are the race lovers and want to be a part of the race voluntarily. Marshals work directly in the racetrack. All volunteers and marshals can be either local or international.
