Matt Cowley Racing

Racing driver and winner of multiple UK and USA championships

His career started in 2010 in karting before moving into the highly competitive single seater categories at the age of 16. Matthew successfully raced historic and modern Formula Ford cars in the UK, USA and Australia and moved to racing F4 and testing in USF 2000 in the United States. He won UK and US championships becoming the FRP, SCCA and UK National FF1600 Champion before moving to European GT in 2019 as an Aston Martin Racing Academy Driver.

Matthew raced in the British GT Championship from 2020 until 2024 with many podiums and fastest laps. In 2021 he was Vice – Champion before taking his Mustang GT4 to 1st in the British GT Championship in 2023. The recipient of a number of prestigious awards and memberships, Matthew is proud to have been awarded the SCCA’s President’s Cup, first awarded in 1954 by then President Dwight D. Eisenhower. He is the only British driver to have received this accolade. “The President’s Cup is presented to the driver demonstrating ability, competitiveness and success at the National Championship Runoffs®. The winner is selected by the Stewards of the Meeting and the Chief Steward of the National Championship Runoffs”, which that year was at Indianapolis Motor Speedway with over 1,000 drivers registered.

He easily adapts and performs in many different cars having driven single seaters, GT4, GT3 and McLaren Trophy race cars and has raced on circuits across Europe, the USA, UK and Australia.

Matthew is honoured to have been elected as a full member of the British Racing Drivers Club (BRDC) and prior to their closure was an Ambassador for Shaw Mind (Mental Health Charity) and their associated publishing company, Trigger Hub. He has also been a long-term supporter of Caudwell Children and Nordoff & Robbins charities.

He is committed to developing talent working as a full time coach at iZone Silverstone, a coach for MSUK and an independent driver coach.

“It’s been great having Matt as part of the program. His focus both on and off the track, his ability to think strategically whilst racing combined with his speed, talent and professionalism has led to his success. We see so many drivers come through this facility we know what the level is and Matt’s absolutely at that level and he needs to be given the chance to go all the way.”

“I think that single mindedness of going to America where he could put together a deal that made sense and could compete in a new environment and win there and win the way he did, underlines the thought that this is a very special talent. He’s more than just your average racing driver, he’s totally committed to maximising his talent. So for me it would just be brilliant to see him in a really, really good team looking for potential outright victories at Le Mans. I think Matt Cowley could really deliver in that situation. Great driver, great driver to watch, great guy to know.”

“I highly recommend talking with Matthew Cowley as a brand partner. He is a proven championship winner, extremely hard working, a wise head on young shoulders and highly articulate. The kind of traits that are extremely helpful to a business that wants to explore the ever growing opportunities in motorsport. There is huge wealth in the European racing paddocks and it’s a huge opportunity to promote your business/product/service. Matt can also provide a ‘money can’t buy’ experience at the Silverstone F1 race.”
