Just messing mate, but make sure you know what you are getting yourself into if you want to work in motorsport.
The National College for motorsport course is a good one. I know because I have completed it.

...Are you sure you don't want to study business and investments instead? I wish I had.

Why?

I'm doing business and EVERYONE who knows me personally says that I should have studied something related to cars/engineering. :lol:

I think people should do what they want to do. if you want to work in motorsport, go for it, and if you want to work in banking... well, no, bad example

Hello Junior

I am at NC4M It's a good way to get into motorsport. I now work for a race team. The college have good contacts and many teams ask for students. The biggest tip I can give you experience! experience! experience! Just start asking every team around your area if you can give them a hand. Cleaning wheels, polishing cars, giving the truck driver a hand etc. Their a bit of misconception with some lads I was with at college they think it all fun, fanny, fast cars and easy :lol: etc but it's often long hours, hard work and being the lad you will be doing all the running literally. Not trying to put you off just giving an honest account of what being a race mechanic is like. It's very rewarding and and you get the opportunity to travel europe or evan the world and work with some of the best Engineers and Mechanics in the world. it's very marmite you either love it or you hate it.


hope this helps.
