[@stijnpaspont]

This really is my new favorite channel. Super interesting to get a behind the scenes look.

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Thanks that's great to hear.

[@loganmarriott11]

Keep the LMP2 behind the scenes stuff coming. Great to see the prep and banter. Good luck for Le Mans

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Thanks

[@dianedoolan6393]

Dude that's a lot of stuff to remember, well impressed xx

[@kalebvieira2557]

That clutch fit tho

[@jackvickers200]

Enjoying this series please keep going

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Will do, the next video will be from round 1 in Barcelona.

[@williamford9564]

This is fascinating!

[@BradleyG01]

Would love a video on how you became a race mechanic!

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Yeah I will do one at some point

[@frguitar777]

tks for that inside Man. Full Respect 👊

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

No worries

[@mindless_shark820]

I’m attending a Motorsport focused school in Sweden so this is super interesting for me and I may learn a thing or two from this so love the content

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Thanks, I hope you do

[@SCD-BOY]

What course do you study to be able to do this?great content!

[@matteostopiglia1671]

Lovely video!

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Thanks

[@jamiepursall]

Why are the dampers blurry?

[@thevenardaxel9926]

To hide the suspension setup( springs rates, preload..)

[@gunlover92]

What model is that gearbox?

[@_Moki__]

DREAM JOB !!!!

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Yeah I can't complain it is a fun job most of the time

[@jamesdungan6198]

From Australia so all new to me, what engine does it run?

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

It runs a Gibson 4.2 litre v8

[@F1Warrior]

do these LMP2 cars still use the nissan VK series V8 engine?

[@tacklefatkids]

No unfortunately not it seems LMP2 teams have moved onto a spec engine with Gibson being the makers. Sounds awesome in person.

[@homelessbaby2768]

Why and what do you blur on the back of the car? im ignorant on LMP2 cars

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Its the suspension part's the dampers, Springs, Rollbar and third element. I cant show them as it would show the setup we are using for that track.

[@ASRACING166]

Love to see all your efforts! what would be the best way to contact you, for more information about what you do?

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Thanks and I have a new Instagram page under the same name message me on there If you want.

[@effisjens1776]

Do you service and rebuild the car like this after every race or after x amount of races ? (Without taking an unfortunate crash into account)

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Yes pretty much everytime the car comes back to the workshop it's gets stripped down like that. All the parts have a life on milage, so the wheel bearings don't get changed every time but most of the other jobs do.

[@willmaddison9750]

If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it 😅

[@FirstLast-tx3yj]

Are you in the UK or europe. I am a mechanical engineer in France with experience in hill climbs and rally cars. Would you mind me asking you some job related questions? What race series are you involved in? What previous experience/education should I have? And as I said before if you are in the UK or Europe!

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

These last few videos are from the Asian LeMans series and the European LeMans series. Any experience in motorsport is good just from club level and work up to higher levels as you gain experience

[@racingonboards]

is this your full time job? I would have thought that just 1 car would not keep you busy enough in the months between races?

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

No I'm a self employed contractor like most of the people in the team. But Nielsen racing is the majority of my work.

[@racingonboards]

@@TheMotorsportMechanic so what does that mean you are doing most of the time for work

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

With Nielsen there is probably a week or 2 in the workshop after every round. Then if we do testing that adds more workshop work so there is a lot of work there but I also work in Extreme E and Nitro rallycross at the moment.

[@niclikescakes]

Each one of those displacement balls are 50 bucks, lol.

[@TheMotorsportMechanic]

Motorsport is expensive that's for sure

[@JC21x]

Whats the balls in those net bags that are in where the fuel cell is? EDIT: Ok never mind you answered it later on lol
