Marc “Woka” Watkins is a passionate and determined racer whose love for motorsport has been a defining part of his life. Originally from the UK, Marc moved to Perth with his family in 2012, bringing with him not just his professional ambitions but also his deep-rooted passion for cars and racing.
Outside the track, Marc is known for his friendly, laid-back personality, often balancing the intensity of racing with his love for spending time with family and friends. He’s a hands-on kind of person, often working on his own cars, always striving to find that extra performance edge.
His racing career took off soon after arriving in Australia. He made his mark in the Holden HQ series, proving his natural talent behind the wheel with a 2nd place finish in the 2015 State Championship. His breakthrough came with four consecutive State Championship titles from 2016 to 2019, solidifying his reputation as a top competitor in the local racing scene.
A proud father and family man, Marc’s success on the track is fueled by the support of his wife and children. In 2020, Marc made the switch to the Saloon Car Pro Am series, where he won the State Championship in his debut year, a testament to his adaptability and skill. Never one to shy away from a challenge, Marc then moved into the highly competitive Saloon Car Pro series with a VT Commodore, which brought its own set of difficulties. Despite incomplete seasons in 2021 and 2022, Marc’s perseverance saw him bounce back, finishing 4th in the 2023 Saloon Car Pro State Championship and 3rd in the WASCC Championship.
Currently sitting 2nd in the 2024 State Championship with one round to go, Marc is optimistic about his chances, though he realistically expects a 3rd place finish. But, true to his competitive spirit, Marc knows that in racing, anything can happen, and he’s always ready to push for that top spot. When he’s not racing, Marc enjoys spending quality time with his family and tinkering in his garage, always dreaming up the next big race.
