If you google "Grand Prix volunteers", you will find out that it is normal to ask for volunteers during these GPs. It is just that the benefits differ between the GPs.
Singaporeans are not very familiar with the term "volunteer". We are not used to the fact that volunteers are not paid in monetary terms but in kind. We are drilled to equate everything to money.

Spyer: Yes, I know its a common practice to use volunteer. But the benefits are really pathetic.

This is exactly why people volunteering their services should know about what other GP organisers are giving to their volunteers.
You will see that the overseas GP organisers give out very good benefits to their volunteers.
This is why volunteers should think in an non-financial way for services rendered.

i think they won't lack volunteers, especially with such big event for the first time.
I myself volunteer for sports events too, with only lunchbox and t-shirt and maybe taxi money.
