Monaco to Silverstone: ID Solutions that drive performance at F1 scale
With over 480,000 fans attending a single Grand Prix weekend (Northamptonshire Police), ensuring access control and seamless movement at motorsport events is critical. As the Formula One calendar rolls on - Silverstone next- the need for scalable operations increases, and ensuring the accessible integration of high quality technology such as our RFID and barcode passes and accessories is the perfect solution. Driven by the passion and precision of meeting your printing needs, we are committed to delivering solutions that elevate your brand racing past your expectations.
At ID Card Centre, we had the pleasure of supporting Red Eye Events, supplying bespoke event passes and custom lanyards for their prestige Harbour Club Packages. Our extensive range of ID printing solutions equipped Red Eye Events with the ultimate head start in event ID management, making sure that every attendee’s entry process was smooth, efficient, and secure from start to finish. Ready The ID passes that our in house team produced via our bureau service ensured that the passes worked with the event organisers internal systems focusing on sensitive data and data encryption.
Overview and Execution Strategy:
Our team at ID Card Centre worked hard to integrate technology that managed access, tracked attendance, enhanced security and streamline operations in events such as this. The components included that we provided for the event includes:
- Lanyards: Stamped with Harbor Club branding for easy visual identification
- Passes/ID Cards: Bespoke passes designed by Alex Walker, with QR barcodes
- Radio Frequency Identification (RFID): Contactless access control and tracking
- Barcode/ QR Code Scanning: Ensures quick check-ins and authentication
We worked closely alongside the Red Eye Events team for F1 at Monaco to ensure functionality within these high spec NFC chip VIP passes. When taking this project on board we established our desire to make this a scalable solution, able to easily accommodate for the magnitude of attendees as well as ensuring robust cybersecurity while delivering a visually appealing product that reflects such a prestige event.
We incorporated retro-themed custom artwork from Alan Walsh at Walsh Gallery Monaco into the VIP card design, transforming each piece into a vibrant and memorable keepsake. These passes were elevated, becoming more than access credentials; they became cherished memoir that captured the spirit of the event and reinforced the client’s brand identity.
With our own goals in mind we wanted to create a memorable experience for their customers. For us, this meant optimising premium cybersecurity measures, and prioritise data privacy overall resulting in faster entry for attendees and seamless movement throughout such a large-scale event. Thanks to this preparation, as a team we were able to mitigate risks of unauthorised access and establish a flawless but stylish integration of event passes.
