i'm trying to do the same thing. you'll find the hardest part is persuading your parents to let you, help you and support you.

so far it's not looking good for me.

look into Carter & Carter fo apprenticeships, as they recruit for most major manufacturers in the UK. (yes, european manufacturers too.)

if it's motorsport engineering you want to do you can either go through the national college for motorsport, which will accpet candidates from GCSEs. or you can do physics and maths A-level and go and do it through a uni like central Lancs.
