Hi

I have just completed a National Diploma in Motorsport Engineering at Wiltshire College, predicted grades DDD. I have had a couple of years experience with teams.

I am know stuck on my next step.

Do I carry on with a Foundation Degree course in Motorsport at Bath?

Or do I try and get a job as a motorsport mechanic/engineer. What is the current job market like?

I have been checking all the job websites and researched into local teams and have got no where.

I was also wondering if there are any team that are looking for mechanics or any teams I could try. I am based in Swindon.

Thanks.

Yer I have been trying.

Looking at Autosport, Motorsport ads and race cars direct.

Everyone wants experience, as I am just coming out of college I aint got that much experience.

Hi

Thanks for that info.

But I believe I have enough experience to get paid at weekends.

I have had three seasons of working for race teams. Doing stuff from Superkarts, Britcar, Clio, Mini, Locost and GT cars. I have just finished college, I have had just weekend experience, I am looking to get more workshop based experience over the summer with a few teams.

I do want to become a Motorsport Mechanic working in GT/Touring cars and doing endurance racing.

I have been emailing local teams and heard bits back saying they will keep my CV on record or they are not hiring at the moments
