For what purpose? Didn't you ask about work placements a while ago on the forum? Is this for the same thing, or are you looking for a full time job now?

Try and get hold of the Autosport Directory, most companies are listed in there.

Swindon Race Engines are not far from the Greenbridge roundabout, passed WHSmiths.

There is Dialynx out in Lydiard Millicent way.

Do you have access to your own car to commute a bit? How far would you travel?

You'll struggle as you have limited options on transportation. Would you be able to get yourself a small CC motorbike before getting your car licence?

Problem with motorsport teams is the bulk of them are based in and around Silverstone. After that, they get very spread out and travel/licence is a major plus for an employer.

i think you would be much better served by going to your local garage and getting a job as an apprentice mechanic. At least then after a couple of years, you'd actually be of use to a race team.
