Aged 12 Matt had a go in autocrosses and hill climbs. Motorsport took a side- line until 2013 when he went along to a local rally to watch with Rod Millen compete. Here the family genes kicked in and he knew he needed a rally car. Since then he has become three-time New Zealand Group A Rally Challenge winner and he now drives a front-running Evo 9 in the Cat 5 Gull Rally Challenge.

1964 Brabham BT9:

This car had a Ford 4-cylinder, 1097cc engine and a Hewland gear box. Its history stems back to May 1964, when a group of British drivers left with their Formula Junior cars for the Japanese Grand Prix, which was a two-heat race round the 6km Suzuka circuit. One of the drivers was Mike Knight and he won the second heat and was the overall winner of the Japanese Grand Prix with this car. This BT9 also ran at Macau.
