Im currently still working in motorsport. Been doing it for nearly 20 years and would love to get out of it. Started working for a supply company as UK agents for Penske Dampers and after 10 years left there to work for a team running Porsches in BGT. Did a few SPA 24hrs and also did Daytona 24hr in 2001. That was probably the best time Ive had racing, so much better working in the States. Then did FIA GT’s for a couple of years. After that I fancied staying at home a bit more so went into BTCC for 2 years. Then I had my best year as an engineer when I ran Jonny Adam to the Cupra championship.
I think once you get your face known around the circuits then getting a job gets a whole lot easier but I would love to get out of it..
One thing you must consider if you want to get into the business is definitely the long hours and also a lot of teams only want you from February through to October so you have to find something to do for the rest of the year.
