Macau Nationals Round II Round 2 of the Macau Nationals proved to be tricky with a big field of 30 drivers, ,many with little to no experience and heavy rain in the finals. All this added up to some amazing spins, crashes and general dissaray. While leading race 1, he was passing back markers who were slow and not taking notice of the Marshalls signals. A slow driver turned in on him causing Matt to crash and bending his chassis. He manged however to cntinue and finish 7th. In the fianl after starting in 7th in the rain, he fought through to finish 2nd.
