Matt McLean is a young Melbourne based race driver who has established himself throughout the Australian Karting fraternity as a naturally gifted star in Motorsport. Entering his first year in National level racing in 2015, McLean went on to win the first ever round of the newly introduced Championship style format on debut in the Senior category, ending the season in 4th place. The following year McLean went on to win the 2016 Australian Kart Championship, finishing the next two seasons in 2nd and 1st respectively and has been lucky enough to represent Australia at the World Championship where he qualified 1st back in 2017. McLean now holds one of the highest amounts of race wins in the Australian Kart Championship history. At the end of 2018, McLean was fortunate enough to partner with Supercar driver James Golding in an endurance race. After 4 hours, they crossed the line in 1st in a field stacked with Bathurst 1000 champions like Steve Richards and Chaz Mostert, other Supercar drivers Cameron Waters, Michael Caruso, Anton De Pasquale and André Heimgartner as well as the best karters in Australia. The next week, Matthew received an offer to race a Supercar. In between racing, Matthew spends his time training, marketing his sponsors, playing shows around the country in his band ‘The Crookeds’, and acting as a coach and mentor for other young drivers in motorsport.
