Getting Involved!
I was wondering if anyone knows the best route to take as getting involved into motorsports, mainly Le Mans and ALMS, on the engineering side of it. I am currently enrolled into a 2-year college planning to transfer to a 4-year university, probably Georgia Tech. I have heard aerospace and mechanical engineering are the degrees to get. Also, one other question I have is how can someone become a crewmember for a team, i.e. a tire changer, refuler, etc.?

In France, I'd say : contact the teams, they always look for new members.
But in USA, I don't know... Tim could certainly help, but he's at Sebring today ! Last edited by Fab; 19 Mar 2005 at 17:32. |

Hi Garret
I am in my final year of a Motorsport Engineering degree course at Coventry University in the UK. I got involved in marshalling at hill climbs and circuits, because I could not get any work experince. But I would say to you is look at the smaller teams in a local championship to get your experince then try the bigger ones, becasue the bigger teams be more likely to take you on if you have some experince already. |
