Competitive from a young age, Mark was a talented soccer player for Sydney's Blacktown United Soccer Team before he won the local shopping centre raffle for a dirt bike, launching him into 80cc motorbike racing. Competing against the likes of Australian Supercross Champion Chad Reed, motorsport came naturally to the eight year old whose father Jim won two national sprint car titles and his mother June also raced in the Minis Group C category! His subsequent meteoric karting career culminated in an invitation to race in the 1999 All-Champions meeting at Japan's Suzuka circuit, where Mark competed against current Formula One drivers including the newly crowned World Champion Lewis Hamilton
