MATT MACKELDEN

Matty is a former TA2 competitor piloting the #99 Kubota sponsored Mustang for many years, but comes to TA2 as the Category Manager after a long career in motorsport management and media being the cohost of Australia’s longest running radio show committed to motorsport - The Drivers Seat on SEN. He was Commercial Director of the V8 Ute Series for many years, also the Bathurst 12 Hour, The Mini Challenge, Australian GT and World Series Sprintcars and brings to the role a unique perspective given his experience both behind the wheel and behind the desk. Retiring Category Manager Craig Denyer has been a direct mentor to Matt over the years and has described his appointment as the end of this 20-year apprenticeship. Matts focus is to bring the best “customer” experience to the TA2 Racing Series, whether that be a driver, a corporate partner or a fan and believes that with newly appointed owners, and the committed and enthusiastic TA2 staff, that goal is easily achievable.
