Inside Formula E with Molly Simpson, Event Experience Manager

Molly Simpson is one of just three Event Experience Managers running fan-facing experiences across the entire Formula E calendar, podiums, ceremonies, fan villages, driver meet-and-greets, and often juggling multiple races and time zones at once.

In this episode she pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to build a race weekend from scratch, from tendering local suppliers in a brand-new city like Miami, to tailoring content so it lands with fans everywhere from Italy to Jeddah (a pizza-spinner activation that works in one market can flop in another), to the quiet logistics of things like reusable eco-cups and sustainably-sourced confetti. It's a conversation about what actually goes into "fun" and why safety, welfare and sustainability always come before the fireworks. Episode recorded in February 2025.
