Hi just curious. How did you become a motorsport mechanic and what qualifications did you have to get if any? I'm graduating high school next year and I'm super keen to get into the industry but I don't know if I need to get a degree or not. Thanks.

@@_clarkey right now it’s for an internship for my school, but my advise is just have a big mouth and talk to a bunch of smaller team at some trackday on your local race track, be polite and motivated, show dedication, and make sure they know your goal. Slowly work yourself up the rankes and the teams, and just overall be dedicated😁

@@lyamdekock9253 thank you

Hasn't posted in months; they raced in ALMS too. Maybe no longer with the team. It's a shame if so. Really like this content.

@@Matt_C_N Thought maybe he was not posting during the off season, I hope he is still in motorsport the content was super interesting, to be able to see the mechanic of the car and explained from a mechanic point.

@@DrachenBlasen he's still with them. Saw him in a garage shot during the Barcelona race.

@@Matt_C_N Yeah I was at the race and saw him, he's still with them hopefully he will soon do new vlogs

go find the nearest race team around you and ask to be their apprentice. it doesn't hurt to ask.

Best wishes young one & go getem and follow ur dreams Hotrods Rule thats the number 1 rule Hotrods

@@ldtenenoff okie dokie tysm!!

Not sure if this helps but I’ve just finished my GCSEs and I’m heading into my first year of college on Monday, I’m going to a college to do motorsport engineering starting at level 2. The course goes on for level 2 and 3 which are both one year long and then after that they offer level 4, 5 and 6 which are also a year long each. The college have had people gone through to level 6 and are now working in Formula 1, WEC and WRC etc, also helps if you have links as I’m lucky enough to have my dad who knows many mechanics in formula 1 and across loads of motorsports. Im really hoping I can make it far and pursue my passion and I hope you can too!

@@Mtbracing34 Thank you for the info ive looked into where i can go from sixth form but not many colleges so ill have to have a look at them also wishing you luck with your future in motorsport as well!!

Half a day I would say to get it done 👍

Thanks a lot and will keep it coming 👍

Yes that would cause the system to not work for sure. Ahh yes old cars, will always give you them problems, I had a throttle cable snap on me before.

Thanks, will do!

Ahh nice work, I'm not exactly sure on the exact price per corner but I would say for the whole brake setup for the car you would be around £20,000 The price of a lmp2 is cost capped at €483,000 and that doesn't include the engine which is leased and you cannot purchase and doesn't include the electronics package which is like ecus and stuff.

@@TheMotorsportMechanic Fantastic stuff... again, mega thanks for all you're doing here, the channel's brilliant !

Yeah I do see what you mean but I guess that's just the way it is 😂 some things do have more bolts than necessary that's for sure

Yeah brake calipers are fairly simple and don't have a lot of components, yes drum brakes can be a pain especially when a spring goes flying and you've got to go find it 😂

Thanks and yeah I can do a video about all the electronics and controls in the car

I will explain that in a upcoming video for you 👍
