Meet Mathew
WHO IS MATHEW BASSO?
The Next Generation of Australian Motorsport!
I’m Mathew Basso, a 15-year-old competitive kart racer from the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria. My journey began when I was two years old, wide-eyed, watching the movie Cars. That’s when the dream started.
At four, my parents gave me an electric go-kart — and I haven’t looked back.
Today, I’m racing at the top levels of national karting, taking on some of the best in the country. Whether it’s the Australian Kart Championship or major state titles, I’m constantly pushing forward, chasing podiums and performance.
BEYOND THE TRACK
- What drives me off the track is just as important as what drives me on it.
- I value education and self-discipline.
- I hold an Academic Scholarship through to my VCE year, balancing elite racing with my study.
- I work hard at fitness, mental strength, and sim racing.
- I give back through coaching, mentoring, and authentic content.
- I’m proud to stay grounded and grateful, building a career that’s as much about character as it is about speed.
LOOKING AHEAD
This is just the beginning. From karting championships to car racing, from content creation to coaching — I’m growing every day, and I want you to be part of the journey.
Thank you for supporting me so far. Let’s see how far we can go — together, Mathew
MY NORTH STAR
In five years, I want to be more than just fast.
I want to be a symbol of what’s possible.
The mission?
I want to become a professional racing driver competing on the world stage while staying true to the values that got me here: hard work, respect, and the freedom to forge my own path.
This journey isn’t just about chasing trophies. It’s about building a
legacy through hard work, integrity, and passion — on and off the track.
MY VISION
I see the future of motorsport as more than just lap times. It’s a cultural platform — one that brings people together, inspires creativity, and drive innovation.
Racing is my medium. But my impact goes far beyond the race line.
I’m not just building a career — I’m building a movement: a new wave of racing that blends sport, digital influence, and real connection.

PARTNER WITH MATHEW BASSO RACING
I compete at the highest level in the Australian Kart Championship and travel across the country for state titles, and recently completed my first Formula Vee race at Sandown Raceway.
Our professional pit setup, online content strategy, and youth-driven influence make Mathew Basso Racing the perfect platform for:
• Brand exposure at national events
• Content campaigns that actually convert
• Building community with future motorsport fans
Let’s build something together – a brand partnership that’s modern, creative, and that makes an impact.
WHAT IF…
What if your brand could grow with the next breakout name in Australian motorsport?
What if your story became part of something bigger — a bold, passionate, and youth-led movement?
What if we redefined what a sponsorship looks like together?
Influencer
I have built a strong following among my peers and the karting community. As I continue to race across Australia, this following will only grow. I can help promote the products and services that support my success, and that can help others achieve their dreams, too!
Engagement
I can regularly share updates on your business or product on my social media platforms. By working together, we can develop a social media strategy that suits your needs, creating content that increases your reach, engagement, and click-through rates.
Brand Activation
While a simple sticker on a kart might not seem like much, there are plenty of opportunities to promote your brand at the state and national racing events I attend. Our professional pit setup
allows for the placement of banners, flags, brochures, stickers, and other promotional materials to help build your brand awareness among a passionate audience.
Let’s work together to create something amazing!

A PLATFORM TO CONNECT
I believe racing is more than a competition — it’s a connection.
It brings people together, from fans to families to future champions.
Whether on the grid, in the sim, or sharing my story online, I want to inspire others and create a culture that celebrates grit, growth, and going for it.
I’m not just building a racing career.
I’m building a platform.
One that welcomes fans, brands, and collaborators who want to be part of something meaningful.
