It is not easy going from a big place like Europe to a distant small labour market, as in NZ. I have a friend here in Australia, who after working for Toyota Team Europe, found it hard to find paid work back here. He was badly burnt by the experience of working for a V8 Supercar team and was considered over skilled for many regular mechanical engineering jobs. Now he is maintaining cars in a stunt show at an Australian theme park.

Just do not give up hope. Expect to have motorsport engineering as a hobby for the most part in the beggining and enjoy the sporting and social nature of it all. Once the links are made, you will get the chances to do other things. Goodness knows, I never expected myself to have done what I have done in my life and with the sport. Do not forget to try to keep September free and vacant for a trip to Australia for the WRC. The Tasman Sea is a small lake to cross for many of us Aussies and Kiwis following our beloved sport.
