British former racing driver and current television announcer for Sky Sports F1®, Johnny is widely recognised as one of the best British racing drivers and is in the exclusive club of UK racers to have enjoyed a successful career in Formula 1.

20-time champion jockey Sir AP McCoy OBE has been an ambassador for The Green Room since 2018. He was the first jockey to win the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year award, and is without a doubt the most fitting personality to guide our guests through a day’s racing.

The Green Room is often full of familiar faces. Where else could you see Alfie Boe singing happy birthday to a guest, Zara Tindall discussing the finer points of the day's menu with Michelin star chef Ollie Dabbous or Jack Whitehall waxing lyrical about the match?
"Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably and never regret anything that makes you smile."
