I had a "should I quit?" moment in my second year, but I had another three years to succeed it, so I was like "I'm not even 2/5's of the way through it yet", but funnily enough, third year onwards became easier and more interesting. 
Just stick at it then. Enter another course at graduate level later on?

tbh thats a double face palm. firstly for doing a degree that your not interested in, secondly as motorsport is a 'dieing trade'

Go and do Motorsport Engineering at University if that's your interest.
Believe me it's not what you think it's like looking from the outside in though.

tbh motorsport is more accessable now than it has ever been IMO
With regards to leaving uni...if it doesnt motivate you and you are struggling it is clearly not the right path for you.
Perhaps look to do something vocational so with a bit of a mix of work and study then you get the valuable experience you need whilst working towards an accredited qualification. Also dont think you are running out of time, I went back to uni at 25 despite everyone telling me it was a waste of time and 3 and bit years on I am now in a job I actually enjoy and dont have to drag my heels to every day. I'd recomend the vocational route to everyone as its less of a financial burden too.
As stated here if you are motivated and know what you want university isnt the end and be all.

What course are you doing now Neil? I'm on motorsport and agree with Rob B; its nothing like I expected but I have still enjoyed even though its so damn hard sometimes. In my Uni, automotive and motorsport courses are run together, in the same class learning exactly the same thing.

The only difference I have seen so far has been with our final year project. The course director told us those doing the motorsport degree program must include more motorsport based references/technical papers than if you are doing the automotive degree and vice versa. However, my project supervisor was quick to dismiss this theory and told me my referencing has been fine even if most of it is from automotive sources and not motorsport sources
