I just went to google maps and typed in "motorsport, nottingham" and came up with:
TSL
Dynamic
Gelscoe
QED
Norris

Expanding that search a little:
Aries
Black Sheep
DL


Not to appear cheeky, but that took me 5 minutes (incl typing this).

How hard have you been looking?

The world and his wife want to work for national level teams for free so unless you've got something a bit extra to give a team you'd probably be better off starting with lower level teams.

Why not turn up to your local track for a club day (actually that's probably a bit tricky as it's probably Donington?) and wander around the paddock, talk to people and offer to help out. The one man and his dog racers would probably appreciate a hand. Try Silverstone next Saturday for our MSVR meeting for a start.

Without wishing to plug other forums, have a post on the Racers forum on ten-tenths and see if you can drum up any racers who will give you a chance to go along, watch and learn.

Good luck

Google is your friend :-)

http://www.msvracing.co.uk/calendar/10oct2009-supe...

Link to timetable at the bottom right of the page. The Lotus and GT teams will all be relatively small teams who would I'm sure be happy to chat to you about what they are doing. The programme may say where people are from so you might be able to find someone local to you.

Last time we were at Silverstone it was free entry, there isn't anything on the website to say that but I'll check.
