Bugger, only have a Nat. B licence. (I'd hardly call myself 'professional' either )

N-a-$-t-y - long time no see on the UK board

Best bet I would have said is to put an ad in a few of the trade journals, Autosport, Circuit Driver, InGear etc. Most drivers read them and the winter would be a good time to get into this while there is no racing. Other than that, have a word with some of the race schools around the country, most of them employ drivers as coaches and again, they aren't so busy during the winter.
Also - try the forums on http://www.ten-tenths.com/

If they lower their requirements to Nat. B club racer who spins quite a lot then let me know

Jon, worth a try on the BookATrack forums.

There are certainly a few people there who could do it (Chris Wilson, or Hyla Breese spring to mind), but whether they're interested in computer game tuning is another question.
