An Australian casting company is on the hunt for a female car enthusiast who's keen to burn rubber for a commercial.
While the idea of doing a burnout will be enough to attract some people, what's even more enticing is that the company is offering to pay a whopping $15,000 for the role
McGregor Casting is calling for female car enthusiasts, aged 20 to 30, who can do burnouts for the Sydney-based TV commercial that will be featured in an ad for an Australian financial institution. No previous acting experience is necessary.

Senior casting director Stevie Ray outlined what the 'burnout girl' should aim to include in her audition video - but stressed not to do a doughnut especially for the application due to safety concerns.
They are happy for you to attach previous burnout footage in your video applications.
"All we need you to do is to maybe hop in your car. Don't do a burnout for me, please don't, or any doughnut. We just have safety issues about asking people to do that for us," Stevie Ray said in a video posted online, adding, "Please don't exit and particularly do something in your automotive for us for this audition."

"The most important thing is to get you delivering this one line, straight down the barrel, straight down the camera, which is, 'I found my dream car'.
"If you could give us maybe three or four different reads of that line, just make it really gentle and really subtle," he added.
"We just want to feel that quiet satisfaction that you've got an awesome set of wheels that you've just bought and you're a little bit excited but keep it a little bit cool."
Applicants must be based in Sydney or surrounding areas and submissions close on Wednesday, with the ad - which is for an Australian bank - to be filmed in Sydney between December 1 and 5.
