Amazing stuff. Really enjoyed that. I know it's gonna be more chaotic/panicky when you've got to deal with an overnight rebuild or engine/gearbox change but it would be fantastic to see.

The champagne/gold hue of the livery on the #24 is growing on me by an alarming rate and i have no clue why 😅. I guess i'll find out myself if my plan for the 24hrs of spa early july get canned as I've heared the 4hrs of Spa this year is a free access event. That would be a nice return to ELMS with the excuse to do the pitwalk this time (arrived just before the race start in 2021). Also, i don't know if you or any in the team collect them but I've seen proper 1/43 scale versions of some of the Nielsen Orecas for sale. With how i'm rooting more and more for this team, soon enough i'm gonna have to get me one of them!

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

Nice that's good to hear and yeah spa 4h is always a good event and if it's free access that's better. Ahh nice and yes the team did get models of the car for each team member.

@SebasDesign 3 ай бұрын

dumb question but why swap only left side tires? a bit odd considering the track runs counter clockwise. Or is it that there are more demanding right handers on the track?

@@TheMotorsportMechanic Thanks for reply. Love to see a little real time data analysis with the car during an actual stint, especially for handling or center of pressure. Always wonder what that would be like, we are not allowed live telemetry so its always a cluster going after something that happened hours ago. Thanks so much, win that next one!!

@tacklefatkids Жыл бұрын

Would love to know the different types of roles and if each one of the pit crew technicians all have their specialities or is everyone an all arounder for what they can work on.

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

Everyone knows how to do most of the jobs on the car but we try and keep the smae jobs over a race weekend as to be more efficient as the days are long.

This is definitely my dream job! But much do motorsport engineers get paid? And do they you guys have any allowances or things paid for you while you are on the job?

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

It depends on your experience on how much you get paid. Whilst away the team covers the cost of meals, travel and accommodation.

What’s the best way for someone to become a Motorsport mechanic? Is it possible to get an apprenticeship on a team and work your way up from there?

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

I went to college and studied motorsport which is good as they have contacts with teams that you can go help out on weekends and hopefully get a job or apprenticeship from that or just offer your help for free at race weekends to teams to get some experience.

What does the data stick do?

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

It is pretty much a usb stick anbd collects all of the data from the car so the engineers can look back at the car and hopefully spot any issues before they become a problem. There is infact 2 data sticks in the car 1 is ours and the other is the organisers so if there is a incident or something they can take the data and look at it.

@@TheMotorsportMechanic Does the car not have live telemetery or is that a back up to the telemetry?

@TheMotorsportMechanic Жыл бұрын

Yes the car does have live telemetry it's a back up and it's a regulation for the championship.
