There is nothing better than pushing your car to the limit and getting results.  Matty Watts, driving the Guy Watts Motorsport altered has been doing just that around the Australian circuit, collecting points wherever he went.  He fell just short of the National Championship, however, at the Winternationals this year and took out a well deserved second place.
