Who is ‘Matt Davies’

Matt Davies from Perton, Staffs has had phenomenal success in his quest to become a Formula 1 Racing Driver. Matt started his indoor Karting career at Cannon Raceway in Coseley in July 2006 at the age of 10.
He has won the Indoor Grand Prix that runs once a month 5 times, which includes recently the Grand Prix in January, February and March of 2008.

He spent a day recently at Whilton Mill Karting Club near Rugby being coached by a Karting Team that has a passion for all aspects of Karting together with a pedigree linked to Touring Car and Formula One technical departments.

It was commented that Matt was a “Natural” and his father, Colin, also said that his “success to date had been largely attributable to his uncanny overtaking ability as he pushes himself to the limit and beyond to get in the next position. He is calm under pressure and has an unprecedented passion for winning”.

He started his outdoor career in September 2007 after first obtaining his MSA (Motor Sports Association) License and won the Novice Cup at his first race which was held at PF International Circuit in Newark on 7th October 2007. He also won the Novice Cup at races held at Kimbolton and Whilton Mill on 10th Feb, 24th Feb, 9th March and 23rd March 2008.

There is no doubt that Matt will have a racing career ahead of him with this kind of talent, and it will only become a matter of time before he gets spotted by someone for further development in the future.
Colin is currently looking for a sponsor to support Matt’s development over the next 2 years. He will be entered in to the “Stars of Tomorrow” Championship in 2009, which is currently being endorsed by Lewis Hamilton himself.
Should a company be interested in talking to Colin in connection with a sponsorship deal, then please feel free to contact him via the link directly below.

24th August 2008 - In heat 1, we had a DNS (Did Not Start) due to the failure of the spark plug on the Dummy Grid & by the time a Good Samaritan ran over with a spare plug, it was too late & the Marshalls wouldn’t let him out.

17th August 2008 - Once Again, Well Done Matt & as there were so many drivers in the Final, he walked away with yet another piece of Silverware for finishing 6th !!

27th July 2008 - A big thank you goes out to Steve @ Snakebite. In Heat 1, Matt finished in 4th place; Heat 2, 12th place & Heat 3,8th place. This meant that he started in 8th position in the final. At the end of the 1st lap on a 13 Lap Final, Matt was pushed from behind in the “Boot” section of the track which spun him around facing the opposite direction. He had no choice but to wait for the other Karts to pass & then carried on. Unsurprisingly, he finished 24th !!
