I got offered a job at Derby with Rolls Royce once just because I made the guys in the office up there laugh....networking is always the key.
I know a few people that have come out with masters for automotive/motorsports and I'm afraid the lot of them went into road cars for at least a year or two before either transferring within the companies or moving out to specialist motorsport places.
I know they're after a couple of FEA/Aero guys for the Manor/Virgin F3/F1 teams but I don't think me asking 'Will you hire this bloke who has the same model car as me' will quite cut it
Most of the other smaller will expect you to be on the shop floor most of the time welding and fabricating, spannering and then only sat designing when required - even the likes of Prodrive, etc, don't have many people employed solely for design work. That's where the larger car companies come in if that's role you want to take.
Otherwise, what are you like at fabrication/welding work?
