Not bad, but I would remove the earth from the normally closed relay contact, you can get an arc while the relay is starting to move. A diode across the coil will stop its flywheel.

If your lamp represents a starter motor rather than a spark plug, the you would need to adjust the lamp for a lot heavier current.

If your lamp represents a spark plug, then you need a capacitor across your 'points' switch and some means of obtaining a very high voltage for the spark...eg an induction coil.

Your relay as it stands is pointless because it puts the lamp full load through the switch.....a relay is meant to use a low current switch to operate the relay which drives a a heavier load switch....sorry to be a downer on this, but please consider my points and I will help as much as I can.
