WHATS NEXT? BASSO SET FOR TASSIE ARC DEBUT:
While most 16-year olds will be sitting mid-term exams next Friday⦠Matt Basso will be on a plane to Tasmania, and will be making his
@batteryworldaustralia @aussie_racing_cars debut with
@corishmotorsports
Following in the footsteps of Aussie car icons, such as
@reecechapman25 - who made his debut around the similar age, of 15 years old in 2015, Basso will be looking to replicate Reeceās young gun success, on the biggest stages, of the
@supercarschampionship at Symmons Plains Raceway, Tasmania
āYeah Iām super excited for Symmons Plains and to make my debut in Aussie Racing Carsā Said Basso,
āHave enjoyed the last test days with Corish and the team before my debut.
āTo be racing alongside the Supercars is amazing and I couldnāt explain how excited I am.
The 16-year old is well beyond his years, and spends most weekdays either behind the wheel of a race car, or in studios filming radio segments, promoting his racing journey, story & the countless sponsors that heās picked up along the way, such as
@castrolracinganz &
@unit
āThis is what Iāve always dreamed of ever since I was a kid⦠to be racing on the big stage, and I couldnāt do it without the help from my sponsors and family.
āIāve always been focused on my dreams⦠itās important to promote yourself every step in the journey.
Basso will have the backing of powerhouse team in Corish Motorsports next weekend, having completed multiple test days with this team, at SMP prior to his debut weekend,
āWhatās really special about Matthew for us, isnāt just the speed⦠itās the maturity, mindset and the way both him and his family approached this opportunity,ā Said team owners of
@corishmotorsports - Andrew & Les Corish
āFrom the moment Matt jumped in the car, the pace has been unbelievable.ā
Basso will line-up alongside a stacked group of teammates, including
@porschemotorsportau driver ā Diesel Thomas & future
@super2series star ā Rossi Johnson
āIāve got some really talented teammates, and Iām excited for what we can accomplish.ā
The New Zealand racer will kick off his debut weekend next Friday, live from Symmons Plains Raceway, Tasmania,
