Hello

Im a current student at the University of Hertfordshire studying BEng in automotive engineering, im currently looking for work placements within the motorsport area, for 2005 to 2006,in the uk or europe.

I was wondering if anyone new of any good places to go or could recommend any teams or companys to try?

Thankyou

Try this on ten-tenths.com, you might get a better reply (a more motorsport dedicated audience), or take a look in the appointments sections of Autosport or AutoCar magazines (or websites). Good luck hunting.

Get to the Autosport show in January and talk to anyone and everyone you can.

My only advice is write as many letters as you can, I was in your position looking for the 2001/2 academic year, its v. tough finding a placememt.

Ask at the Autosport show, take copies of your CV and a generic covering letter, some companies dont mind you giving them letters on stands, others dont like it, in which case get a name/business card and follow it up straight away with reference to the conversation you had on the stand.

Best of luck.
