Historic Motorsport — F1, GT & Sports Cars, 1960s to the Current Era

Lyons Racing is a historic race team built around a winning mentality, and we're looking for our next Number One Mechanic — the person who takes full ownership of car preparation and race operations, front to back. This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of a small, competitive outfit where the quality of the work is what wins races.

You'll cover everything from meticulous winter builds through to trackside decision-making under pressure, working on cars spanning six decades of racing history — from 1960s F1 and sports racers through to current-era GT machinery.

THE ROLE

Attention to detail

Meticulous, methodical preparation — the standard our reputation is built on.

Ways of working

Equally comfortable running a job solo in the workshop and working as part of the wider race team.

Location & travel

Based in Essex, with travel to events across the trackside calendar — workshop-based build and preparation, and trackside event work required.

Environment

Competitive, fast-paced and quality-obsessed. We measure ourselves on results.

Licence

HGV licence preferred but not essential.

Compensation

Competitive, based on experience.

WHY JOIN US

Winning mentality

A team that's built around performance, and expects to be at the front.

High-profile events

Compete at some of the biggest names on the historic racing calendar.

Proven track record

Genuine results and a history of success to build on, not start from scratch.

Great customers

Work with owners and drivers who value the craft as much as we do.

Close-knit team

A small, family-feel operation where everyone's contribution is seen and valued.
