The role
What a racing driver actually does, day to day.
As a racing driver, you spend your days on the track, pushing a high-performance car to its limits. Your job is to drive as fast as you safely can, make split-second decisions at high speeds, and work with your team to improve performance. You will compete in races and tournaments, starting from smaller championships and working your way up to bigger events.
As a motorsport engineer, you design and build racing cars, or improve existing ones. You test every component - the engine, tyres, suspension, brakes - working out what changes will make the car faster or more reliable. Before and after races, you analyse data from the car's computers to find tiny improvements. You work closely with drivers and mechanics to make sure everything is working perfectly.
