This is what I've been doing recently, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Visited the Balaton Park Circuit in Hungary for the Ferrari Challenge race weekend there, stood 1 meter away from most Ferrari 296 and 488 racecars, as well as centimeters away from the personal Ferrari vehicles of the Ferrari Guests. I saw machines like the 296 GTB, 488 Pista, 812 Superfast, F8 Spider Novitec, 458 Speciale, and the Purosangue. Best spent 60 bucks of my life. The International GT Open series comes to the Hungaroring in 3 weeks, I feel bad for robbing the organizers with the 40 buck price for 2 days of paddock access xD

Hiya, dude! I'm 17, just finished my AS exams, and I'm looking to get into some high form of engineering within Motorsports, and I had a few questions. If you could point me in the correct direction, that would be fantastic. I heard a few recommendations that learning as many things as possible is good for getting this kind of a job, such as Python and MATLAB. Are there any other things I should think of learning? How do I know what type of engineering I like? That's currently my biggest issue. I don't know, I just love cars and always have. But there's many different components to engineering, be it Manufacture, Motorsport, Aerodynamics, whatever whatever. How do I know which one I like? I've never done this, so I don't really know the difference. Would I end up finding out at Uni? How would I know which one's for me? Also, what is the pay like? Haven't really seen that listed anywhere. Obviously it'll change with the job and experience, but a general quote would be great! My final Question is, how transferable would my skill-set be, if I were to go from being a Motorsport Engineer, to something a little more relaxed? I wanna spend a fair amount of time with a family I want to build. Anywho, thank you very much for your time!

I heard that F2 just switched to using cars based on the Super Formula cars, made by the same company, with the same engine and a very similar chassis, but with different aero (due to the regulations being different, with F2 following F1's lead in trying to regulate aero to reduce dirty air and making close following and passing easier.

I’m from the UK, doing my undergrad in the US right now. I’ve spent my first year as a Bio major, but have gotten really into math since being in college and I started watching formula 1 this year and realized how strategic and analytical it is, which I’ve come to realize are the things that make my brain buzz (in the best way if you know what I mean). I’m leaning heavy towards switching my major to mechanical engineering, and this video has been a huge help in my research into all things motorsports! Thank you so much for this Blake!
@brrrake28 күн бұрын
The thing is even if you decide Motorsport isn't for you... Mechanical engineering is very versatile and many of the things you might appreciate about formula 1 exist in other engineering disciplines! Good luck!

Thanks for the nice video❤ I’m crazy about motor sports and I chose to go to Britain for college instead of staying in China totally out of the love for racing. Since I’m still a high school student now and is going to apply for college, I wanna ask about whether the teams care a lot about what university I am from? Well to be honest I am not good enough to enter Cambridge or else, but I am pretty sure I can make it to UCL, Bristol uni or Manchester, though these universities aren’t that competitive. By the way, does the majors matter? I would like to apply for both ME and EEE, while I am not sure whether EEE could closely related to motor sports.

Sometimes the university matters but what's in your CV is more important. I would do ME if you want to do Motorsport. Many more opportunities

F1 "doesn't always translate into best racing" is the understatement of the year. That "racing" series has no longer anything to do with being a sport, and is essentially just an advertising and sportswashing platform for megacorporations, celebrities and bloody dictatorships around the world. Meanwhile series with comparatively tiny budgets are producing actual on-track racing and title competition year in, year out.
