Youngster work experience

Hope somebody can help with this one.

I know a 17 year old who's doing a Motorsport coarse at silverstone and he's really struggling to find a work experience placement,

He's looking for a week or two unpaid but would like a 12 month paid placement ideally.

Any ideas who he could try?

Its a shame because it sounds like if he doesn't get a placement he can't continue with the coarse.

He's a really nice lad desperate to get into the Motorsport industry but seems to be struggling with this part.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Simon

Birmingham too far? Might be worth trying Fred at BTM performance.

Thank you

No problem, I know he had a guy doing a similar course at uni in coventry working for him before so its possible he will look to do it again, though Fred has very exacting standards, so he'll need to be good!
