Europe: Press Access
This is getting even better. If a potential interview opportunity with Eurosport isn't enough, now I have a new set of emails to share...I wrote another post last night seeking help from a professional photographer at the Assen and Le Mans rounds. Here is a link to the original post.
My first response was in my email this morning:
Hi Greg
Looking forward to meeting you at the Assen 500; I run the championship
website and produce all the English language press releases; I'll put you on
the distribution list for the latter.
I suggest you contact Vittorio Gargiulo to see if you can get press
accreditation for the championship, his email address is ...
We supply some hi-res images for press use on the website, but (wearing my
freelance photographers hat) I also take pictures for a number of the UK
magazines. You'll either find me in the press office or walking up and down
pitlane; make sure you say hello.
Cheers,
Martin Gelder
So I replied and thanked him for contacting me, and then wrote to Mr. Gargiulo to explain my situation and ask for a little extra access. Here's his reply:
Dear Greg,
please contact me in Assen (EWC office will be in the Circuit Direction Building) : I will give you the "media card" to get you able to have access to the "Media Center" at every event.
Regards.
Vittorio Gargiulo
Endurance World Champioship
As it stands I now have full press access at both races, although I will be spending the majority of my time wrenching for Primo Racing, because that is my first and foremost function at and between both races. Still, this helps when I'm not wrenching on the bike or building a space in the pit/paddock/garages for the team and I should have some extra access to Wi-Fi and things of that nature as well.
Once again, the plot has thickened.
