Yep, keep going - it's only been 3 weeks!
As Andy mentioned above, if you are really passionate about it, you've got to contact every team you can (easy to do per race series / google); should give you a contact / mailing list of at least a couple of hundred; and spend as much time at the track during the week / weekend as you can talking to teams.
Exactly the same in my business - it'd the only way to make contacts quickly.

Whilst you keep trying get another job to tide you over.
It could take months or even years to get the break you are looking for.
In the meantime build your race experience working at weekends for expenses.
You're not going to get a result popping back on here every 10 days asking for advice because nothing has happened. The advice remains the same.....

Get a job as a mechanic or engineer of some sort.
Keep begging, emailing, calling and wrting to the big teams.
Go to club level events and try to get to know a few people and offer to make tea, bring sarnies and help turn spanners. To get at least a little bit of experience lower your sights to clubbie racers that normally have a mate to help (or just their wife holding an umbrella while the driver works in the rain) and offer yourself to do anything and everything they ask. Clubbie racers like having free labour and you will like gaining experience in a low pressure environment.
