MARC WILSON is the operations manager for MEGA which runs ride days at Sydney Motorsport Park and Phillip Island GP Circuit. He is also a senior coach with the California Superbike School and one very knowledgeable bloke when it comes to motorcycle riding on track.

In this episode, Marc and Jorge discussed Marc's recent experiences at The Bend racetrack, where Marc had ridden the full 35 corner circuit and found it impressive with a good balance of technical sections and fast flowing areas. They explored the growing presence of women in motorsport, with Marc noting increased participation in Mega's events and the success of their women's only ride day. The conversation covered Mega's expansion to offer both BMW and Ducati hire bikes, including the development of a premium "full factory experience" package with dedicated support and personalised setup for riders seeking that level of experience. Marc shared details about his ongoing project building and testing a BMW S1000RR with various modifications, including data logging equipment, to help riders understand optimal setup parameters. They also discussed tyre management strategies and the importance of proper traction control settings for different riding conditions.
