2010 Ginetta Junior Winter
Series Champion

Seb has become the most successful Ginetta Junior driver to date with a simply stunning season in which he has achieved 11 race victories and stood on the winner’s rostrum 16 times from 20 race starts. He concluded the season a crushing 125 points clear of his closest rival.

It was Seb’s second full season in Ginetta Juniors and now he turns his attention to the next step and the graduation to Formula Renault for 2012. Matt has worked alongside Seb as ‘Driver Coach’ since the teenager’s first ever run in a racecar at the tender age of 13.

'Matt’s input, help and guidance for all my racing career so far, has been totally superb.  I could not wish for anyone better to be my driver and racing coach.  Long may it continue!!’

Victor Jiminez
2011 Formula Renault BARC Winter Series Champion

Victor Jiminez from Spain has been racing all season in the Formula Renault BARC series with limited success. His switch to Hillspeed for the Winter Series and Matt for his driver coaching needs yielded a fantastic string of results over the 6 round series. Victor graced the podium 5 times from 6 starts and finished 3 points ahead of his nearest rival claiming the 2011 Winter Series Championship.

Tom Ingram
2010 Ginetta Junior Champion

 

Tom won the 2010 Championship with an impressive 13 podiums, 8 fastest Laps, 5 wins and 6 pole positions.  Matt worked with Tom from the very first round of the championship at Thruxton, an event which subsequently gave Tom his first car racing win and the lead of the championship.

Tom went on to test Eurotech’s Vauxhall Vectra British Touring Car as his prize for winning the Championship, a taste of things to come!

‘This has been the first year I worked with Matt, and I can honestly say its been the best year's racing I’ve ever had!!  Matt has been simply phenomenal,  not only has he helped me in-car but also out of the car, looking at data and going through on-board footage, studying lines and so forth.  Without Matt’s support I WOULDN’T have won the championship!  If you want to win, Matt is your man’

James Theodore
2010 Formula Renault BARC - 3rd Place
2008 Formula Renault BARC Winter Series Champion

 

James proved he was one of the best drivers in 2010 with 5 Pole positions, 3 Race wins , 3 Fastest laps and 7 Podiums.  Some bad luck during the season meant the Championship title was out of grasp but James started the championship on Pole position at Brands Hatch and finished with a win at the final round at Thruxton. Along the way James stood out as the qualifying expert of 2010.

James started driver development with Matt back in 2008 when James secured the Formula Renault BARC Winter Championship at his first attempt with 3 out of 4 race wins.

 

‘Matt has coached me for 2 years and was integral in my transition from karts to single seater racing.  His precise data analysis and understandable communication made it simple for me to evolve from a complete novice to a championship frontrunner in a very short amount of time.  I have learnt so much as a driver and owe most of it to him.  My 5 pole positions and 3 wins in 2010 prove that he is an excellent driver coach’.

Ahmad Al Harthy
2009 Formula Renault BARC Championship Runner Up

The 2009 Championship Runner-Up spent two years with Matt honing his skills in Formula Renault BARC.  Ahmad’s super smooth style has gone on to reward him as he moved on to compete in the 2010 Porsche Carrera Cup where he finished an impressive 4th overall in the Pro-AM1 catergory.  As Oman’s only Racing Driver from a single seater background Ahmad is his country’s superstar and a great role model for any aspiring racing driver.

"I've worked with Matt for 3 years, and whenever I thought I couldn't go any faster Matt proved me wrong with his advice and his professional approach. It has been a pleasure working with him... "
