4 Motorsport.engineerMotorsport.engineer qualifications Courses and degrees You can take courses specific to motorsport engineering and design, including foundation degrees, BTEC HNC/Ds and degrees. It is recommend that you take courses that include work placements with manufacturers and suppliers. Another interesting thing is that there are schemes like the Formula Student programme, offered by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and partners, allow college teams to design, build and race vehicles against each other. Apprenticeships To get on to an Apprenticeship with a company, you will be likely to need four or five GCSEs (A-C), including math's, English and a subject in science. Also you may be able to train as a vehicle technician or design assistant at college. With further study, you could eventually qualify as an engineer. This being a very competitive career to get into. You would normally need experience in vehicle engineering or a related area, backed up with relevant qualifications. This is the story in all racing divisions, but especially true if you want to work at the top levels of the sport.

5 Motorsport.engineerMotorsport.engineer Jobs dayaverageinan As a motorsport engineer you could work in design, testing, production or racing. designing prototypes with computer-aided design (CAD) software testing components and bodywork to increase a vehicle's performance testing working models on the track before vehicles go into full production building production models and carrying out quality control checks 'finishing' vehicles with the team's colours and sponsorship logos. At race meetings, your duties would include: setting up vehicles to suit track and weather conditions monitoring engine speed and other data during races fine tuning the vehicle and sending any technical instructions to the driver or rider carrying out tests on vehicles after races to look for signs of damage. After races, you would attend debriefings with the race team to look at what worked well and where to make improvements.

6 Motorsport.engineerMotorsport.engineer Promotion prospects The sky is the limit One example of this is Ross Brawn His career in motorsport began in 1976 when he joined March Engineering in the town of Bicester as a milling machine operator. Soon afterwards he joined their Formula 3 racing team as a mechanic. Brawn was hired by Sir Frank Williams in 1978 as a machinist for the newly formed Williams team. He quickly moved up through the ranks, working in the R&D department and as an aerodynamicist in the team's wind tunnel. He eventually made his way to own his very own team.
