So, I've been given the chance to work with the pit crew in a endurance race team Thumbs Up

I've already spoken to Neil Spalding a few times, pretty interesting bloke and knows a hell of a lot, and this has kinda got me hyped up.

Has anyone done anything like this and can give their experience?

Ta people!

Fluffers "work with" the film industry. Just be clear on what's being asked, and offered.

Friend of mine was in a pit crew, loved it but says it horribly stressful and people often end up in tears screaming at each other

I read the book 'Endurance' about the British team who attempted to walk across Antarctica with the aid of dog sledges. Sir Ernest Shackleton was the Team Leader.

A magnificent read and a fcukin' Epic adventure. Thumbs Up

Great opportunity, how did it come about?

I'm trying to get my foot in the door with composites in the motorsport industry, sort of getting there but i only have 5 years of experience with laminating

He hasn't mentioned if it's paid or not.

If it's not, there are masses of people, including some fairly 'high up' that would happily have someone who's not entirely incompetent along.
