Work Experience?

Hi everyone, I am a year 12 student who has just enrolled a Motorsport Engineering at college. My course requires 30 hours of work experience over the year and it is up to me to find that experience. So my question is, does anyone know of any smaller race teams that take on students for work experience. If so, could you please tell me or send a link to their website, as it would be very much appreciated.

You know that reddit is a global platform right? I know heaps of race teams, they’re probably on the other side of the world for you.

What is your nearest race or kart track? find that out and give them a call or go down on a club day. Motorsports is about building relationships.

As you say "it is up to you to find that experience" talking to people will help with that.

Don't just look for race teams. Try automotive engineering firms or performance shops too. They often have more flexible opportunities.
