I want to talk to an engineer in the motorsport field, but don't know where to go.

Hey y'all,

I'm currently a mechanical engineering student who dreams of working in the motorsport or performance car field because I love the high-pressure environment and love how it can be a sport for the engineers as much as it is for the drivers.

I wanna contact someone who works professionally in the field (mainly someone who is trackside or someone in testing/R&D), but I don't know where to go to find someone willing to sit down and talk. I'm the only person in my family and my area of town who wants to go into this field, so I'm kinda going blind into this and figuring it out as I go. Where is a good place to find someone that I'm able to talk to and gain some insight? I can only read so many articles and YouTube videos on how to be a motorsport engineer lol.

Also if you feel free to add, what are some good tips for reaching out and talking to these people?
