Are you up for the challenge of designing a winning racing car? Imagine creating a race car that flawlessly races around the track, leading the pack to victory. This is the exciting world of a Motorsport Design Engineer.

This career is not for the faint-hearted, but it rewards those with a sharp eye for detail and a deep understanding of mechanics, mathematics, and physics. It’s about devising solutions under tight constraints and pushing the boundaries of speed and efficiency.

What Does a Motorsport Design Engineer Do?

You will most likely have a specific department you will work in – whether that be gearbox, engine, aero or suspension and will be responsible for designing parts using CAD systems to fit onto the car and perform its task as well as possible. 

You will need to specify what these parts are made from and their tolerances – generally, the part needs to be as lightweight as possible while squeezing the highest performance from the car and also lasting a specified period and, importantly, manufactured within a set budget. Remember – if you’re designing a suspension system to take a racing driver around a corner at 150 mph, you must get it right! 

Your job is to make the car as quick as possible while still being reliable and adhering to strict rules.  

Characteristics required for a Motorsport Design Engineer career:

• Someone with a passion for motorsport
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills
• You need to be competitive and have the will to win
• Motorsport is very much a team sport, you need to be a team player
• Be able to communicate complex ideas
• Solve complicated problems under pressure

What qualifications are essential?

GCSEs: Many universities don’t specify which GCSEs you require, however, unless you study Maths and Physics as a bare minimum, being a Motorsport Design Engineer will likely be more challenging.

A levels: This is where universities will start being much more picky. We’ve referenced Bristol University’s Mechanical Engineering degree, which is considered one of the best in the country. 

Here,  you will need the following grades: A*AA – this includes an A*A in any of the following: Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Further Maths, Computer Science or Electronics.

If you want to be part of the cutting-edge departments that design aerodynamics, then a degree in Aeronautical engineering or aerospace engineering is also very much as relevant. 

For example, to gain entry to Nottingham University’s degree in Aerospace engineering, you also need: A*AA – Maths and either Physics (preferred) or Further Maths as a 2nd subject, or Maths with any two of the following: Chemistry, Biology, Design, Economics, Psychology, Electronics, Computer Science.

It is possible to become a design engineer without a degree but you’ll need plenty of experience. However, it’s unlikely that you would get any experience without a degree, so it’s a chicken-and-egg situation. A degree is by far your best chance of having the career you want as a Motorsport Design Engineer.

University Degrees: We recommend you take a look at the link below to the complete university guide on mechanical engineering – with all the top courses’ stats, information, and entry requirements: The complete university guide – mechanical engineering.

What experience do you need to a design engineer job?

You’ve got your required A Levels and Degree, well done! What next? Do race teams recruit straight from University, or will you be better off finding somewhere else to ply and learn my trade before making the step? 

The top teams will cherry-pick the top graduates from the top universities. This is a dream scenario, but you must prepare yourself for the fact that this is unlikely to happen. 

Be prepared to apply for all sorts of Design Engineer jobs within motorsport at the end of your degree but do try to go straight into motorsport.

Internships and unpaid work during university holidays are also great ideas. Degree courses with years in industry are also a fantastic way of getting your foot in the door. Many courses offer this, but it is down to you to secure the employment – this is an example of some of the internships that are available.

You will need to send your CV to all the race teams and apply for their schemes online – it’s not easy to secure one, but if you do, it is a great way of getting your foot through the door at an early stage!

Case study: Finn Machfearson – Race Engineer at Hitech GP  

‘I started off like any teenager, eager to work in F1. I contacted every team in F1/GP2(F2)/GP3(F3)/LMP etc for any work experience I could get. 

I picked up a Saturday and school holiday job at DK Engineering, a fantastic Ferrari specialist service and restoration company, effectively cleaning floors and cars. But crucially working in and around those who know cars inside and out. 

I spoke to Sky Sports F1 to see if I could get an insight into F1’s media side and got a two-week placement there through the recorded video I made of myself explaining why I wanted to help them where I could. 

During University, I applied for placements in F1 / Automotive / Aerospace and attained a summer role at Force India (Aston Martin F1) in Aero design. 

The following summer, I attained another placement at KWSP, an engineering consultancy working on a range of tasks from sports engineering Team GB skeleton sleds to startup automotive companies. 

After finishing my degree, I was intrigued by the prospect of working as close to a race track as possible, and hence I approached Hitech GP who are a top team in the lower categories of single-seaters. It stuck, and here I am, four years later.’

Finn has asked us to encourage you to “watch and support F2/F3, it’s a great championship which is growing all the time!” We couldn’t agree more!

What other skills and experiences would be beneficial for pursuing a career as a Motorsport Design Engineer?

To excel in the field of motor racing, it is crucial to possess a vast knowledge of the subject matter. Understanding the technical rules, constraints, and the factors that contribute to making a racing car fast are essential skills to develop. 

Pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering can open doors to various career opportunities in the motorsport industry. However, to stand out in the field, one needs to showcase their passion and knowledge of the sport.

Finn Said: “Don’t give up! I first sent letters to F1 teams, when I was 13! I only got a proper job when I was 23! 10 years later! F1 is so big now, twice the size that it was 15 years ago when I got into it. 

In that sense then, do what you need to, to stand out. and consider beyond F1. F2/F3 are extremely professional, you would be surprised by the level of engineering involved. I made a video CV for example to get into Sky and no one really did this at the time, now it’s probably expected, so think beyond the current norm and get out there. In the engineering/mechanics side. 

Get hands on experience. Go to a local karting track and offer assistance. I cleaned floors for 3 years, just to have the name and experience of being around Ferrari’s and those who know cars. I may not have had a big impact at that company but it bolstered my CV and made me stand out’

What does the job involve?

Marketing is the process of promoting your business through the most efficient channels available to generate sales and grow your business. 

In motorsport, the same principle applies. It requires significant financial resources to operate and be profitable, which involves marketing the sport to all stakeholders, including sponsors, fans, and even the top drivers.

For example, in a marketing role for an F1 team, you may create social media content, plan promotional events, and secure sponsors and funding.

Here are some characteristics of a person who is interested in pursuing a career in marketing within the motorsports industry:

• Passionate about cars and motorsport
• Creative and ideas-driven
• Confident in relaying and executing these ideas to strict deadlines
• A social person 
• You will probably have to be flexible in the hours that you are willing to work

What qualifications are essential to work within marketing in motorsport?

• GCSEs and A Levels – no subjects are essential
• A degree is usually a prerequisite for this sort of role, although it doesn’t necessarily need to be in ‘marketing’. This of course, would not harm your chances! Degrees in business, languages and even technical and maths-based degrees are now sought after in marketing due to the data-driven nature of digital marketing
• We’ve mapped out the most common routes to the position you desire, however, there are always expectations to the rule and everyone’s journey, often to the same please, is usually different.
• Perseverance – try, try and try again. If you want that motorsport career badly enough you will definitely get there eventually with the correct attitude.
• During your employment, it would be beneficial to build your qualifications with organisations like the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).

What experience do I need?

Our suggestion would be to strive to secure a place in a sought-after marketing graduate scheme that is closely related to the motorsport industry. 

Alternatively, you can pursue an entry-level marketing or marketing assistant position within motorsport if possible. By starting your career in either of these roles, you can gain valuable experience and eventually apply for more specialized positions within the motorsport industry.

Potential Salary

• Marketing Manager: £40,000 – £60,000 a year

A lot of people are drawn to media jobs within F1 but there is a whole umbrella of motorsport underneath F1 that has its own media demand. 

What does a PR and Media job in F1 and motorsport involve?    

Motorsport needs a link between the teams and outside would – a PR and Media Manager will be this link and control things like press releases, material for media use and being that point of contact between the team and the press.

Case Study: Damien Meaden – Motorsport Communications, PR and social media specialist: 

‘The majority of my time is split between producing our communications output – so press releases, web features, materials for media to use – and being that first point of contact for the press with the team. On event, I manage the drivers’ media schedules, from building the schedule to assisting with each appointment. So you’ll often find me at press conference, media pens, all the fun things!’

Characteristics of someone who is considering a PR role within motorsports:

• You love speaking to people
• Attention to detail – the media and public are a wiley old bunch, people like to ask questions and pick holes in everything you say. The stories you are relaying must be watertight, which brings us on to the next trait;
• Honesty – say no more
• Imperviousness – in other words, you need a thick skin!
• Flexibility – it doesn’t always turn out the way you want – you need to be flexible to the fast changing events around you and adapt quickly to address any prevailing situations.
• Strong writing and verbal skills –  is an absolute must. You’re communicating a race team’s events and philosophy effectively to the press and public so this goes without saying.

What qualifications are essential for PR motorsport career?

• GCSEs and A Levels

What qualifications are preferred?

As with many of the jobs on this list, a degree is helpful but by no means essential. This degree could be in a wide range of fields. You wouldn’t go far wrong with a degree in foreign languages, journalism and media. 

Building up lots of relevant experience is far more important. It would be great if you could become a member of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) along the way – this is achieved by completing continuing professional development (CPD) courses alongside your employment. Statistics show that PR professionals with this qualification earn higher salaries than those without. 

What experience do you need for a motorsport PR career?

Damien Said: ‘I actually started out as a journalist whilst I was sitting my A-Levels. I used to work every evening during the week at the local cinema and spend the money at the weekend on taking myself to BTCC events to learn, meet people and develop my craft. Whilst at university, I transitioned more to the PR/comms side of the industry, first with Formula Renault NEC, then in my final year I was offered a role at British F4. I spent four fantastic years as the Media Manager for F4 and worked in several other great championships alongside – Formula 2, GT World Challenge Europe, GB3, and so on. One more in-house role at Motorsport UK as their Communications Manager, and then I went freelance at the beginning of 2023’

What else would be useful for you to do in pursuit of a media / PR job within F1 or Motorsport?

Your own YouTube channel, podcast and social media pages on the subject would be great, showing that you have the aptitude, knowledge and passion to make this your future career.

Case Study: Teagan Ramsey – Team Coordinator ELMS 

‘I worked at Goodwood on the marshal’s team from 16-18. Alongside this, my dad ran a team in the Fun Cup Championship which I went along to helping with hospitality and taking care of the crew & drivers. 

When I turned 18, I started hosting events at Goodwood, this included test days and corporate days as well as working all major events including Revival and Members Meeting. 

That year, I was also asked to grid girl in the BTCC which was my first insight into a high profile championship. I did this for 5 years on/off and in multiple championships. This helped a lot with networking within the industry. 

Whilst at University I had work experience at Williams F1 which was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot and it gave me a real insight into the highest level of motorsport. As well as this, in my second year I worked at Silverstone on the corporate events team helping with corporate tickets and hospitality. 

I finished University during lockdown so trying to get a job within motorsport was very difficult, due to this I worked in Pandora. In 2021, I reached out to a number of Le Mans teams and was given the opportunity by one team to work with them. This was where my ELMS journey started.
