MARC Cars Australia

Through Big Picture, I have been working at MARC Cars via internship since May 2023. During this time I have visited the workshop one day a week, along with attending over 20 race events with the team.

I was have been the main mechanic on a race car several times. In a recent instance of this Geoff, the driver (and my boss), won every race, claimed both poles and was fastest in practice in a competitive field.

Through my experiences with the team, I have been able to build my industry knowledge and skills. One significant role I have had was at 2 Days of Thunder, where I was the sole mechanic on a race car.

Some of the tasks I have been responsible for include purging tyres, checking tyre wear, repair and maintenance work, radio communication with the driver, and making set-up changes. I also had to keep track of and change fuel levels and tyre pressures, along with the responsibility of engine and gearbox run-ups.

The result was that we topped the sole practice session, claimed both pole positions, and won all four races, complete domination in a highly competitive field of equal machinery.

After high school, I will work full-time at MARC Cars as a mechanic before the start of university, and then part-time alongside my studies at university.
