Some can only dream about it.

This is a golden opportunity for some lucky young fella or lass.

It could be the start of an awesome motorsport career.

Well it's not like they're hiring a first year apprentice..someone in their 4th year..basically fully qualified.

Imagine what having FPR on your resume will do for you career wise.

Because people need to be trained... otherwise when their other blokes wives get sick of the travel/time etc there will be no-one left to fix the cars.

Also, they get to mold the type of mechanic they want, and not have to spend their time undoing what someone else has molded first.
