He recently claimed his second V8 racing title in as many years, at the Midvaal Raceway, outside of Meyerton in the Vaal Triangle.
Technically, this is the second title the veteran racer has won this year, as he was acknowledged as the rightful 2014 National V8 Supercars Champion only five months ago.
This was due to the torturous six-month legal battle that ensued after the final event of the last National Super Series, at the end of the 2014 racing season, tainting what should have been the realisation of a dream for the popular “Italian Stallion”.
Di Matteo has, however, proven in no uncertain terms what a worthy champion he is, by taking the 2015 Super Saloons GTA Class Championship as well – a category created especially for the former National V8 Supercars Championship within the ranks of the Northern Regions Inland Series.
Not only has Di Matteo claimed this title, but he also currently leads the 2015 Liqui Moly Legends Masters Championship by a healthy margin.
With only one event left, at the Red Star Raceway in a few weeks time, he is expected to add his second title in a row in this category, as well.
Di Matteo’s success would not be possible without his valued sponsors – Varta Johnsons Control, Amtec Lubricants, Derek’s Machining, Tre-D Engineering, GWR Racing and PF Hydraulics.
He will certainly be looking to reward them with more great results next season.
