Career

Karting

Matus first began karting in 2002, at the age of four. From 2007 onwards, he competed in major karting championships across Mexico and the United States.

Lower Formulae

In 2014, Matus made his debut in French F4, finishing twenty first in his debut season. He returned the following year, claimed his maiden victory and finished seventh overall. In October 2014, Matus was among four drivers invited to join the testing of the Ferrari Driver Academy. [1] But he wasn't included into it.

In 2015, Matus went on to become Formula Panam champion and the inaugural NACAM Formula 4 champion.

Formula Renault

In January 2017, Matus signed with AVF for the Eurocup Championship. [2] He was just one from five drivers who wasn't able to secure a points-finishing position, ending the season 24th.
