From an early age, Marcos Ambrose showed signs of his considerable driving talent. Raised in Tasmania, he collected nine state and one national title in karting ranks before stepping up to the Australian Formula Ford championship in 1996.
In 1998,Ambrose relocated to England in pursuit of his Formula One dream. His rapid progress continued in 1999 when he took out the Eurocup Formula Ford Championship and was equal third in the British national series after finishing fifth in 1998.
After a disappointing season trying to break into Formula Three in 2000,Ambrose returned to Australia at the end of 2000 and was quickly snapped up by the Stone Brothers Racing team.

the elite competitors in the series in his Pirtek Racing BA Falcon.
