Curriculum Vitae

Born 03 December 1994
Lives Limoges, France

French F4 champion and Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 race winner, Matthieu Vaxiviere moved up to the next level in 2014. The young French talent competed in the World Series by Renault 3.5 with the prestigious Lotus team.

In his rookie season, Matthieu was amongst the fastest. He did everything for the season to meet the challenge of a category which saw many drivers heading to stardom, like the quadruple F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel. Matthieu unfortunately missed four races due to injury in Monaco and made a spectacular return! He scored two podium finishes and 7 top 10 in 7 starts in total! He finished eighth in the championship.

At only 21, Matthieu has already competed in several categories: GT, Mitjet, Porsche Carrera Cup, Andros Trophy ... In 2014, he participated in the prestigious World Endurance Championship in the LM GTE Am where he felt «at home», claiming pole at Austin (United States) and a podium at Fuji (Japan).

In 2015, Matthieu Vaxiviere illustrated himself again in a very intense season of FR3.5 within the Lotus team. Indeed, the title race was intense: no less than 10 podiums including 3 victories! A full season of competition, regularity, allowing Matthieu to get the title of vice world champion of Formula 3.5. But the young limougeaud didn’t stop there. Matthieu is a challenger with a strong competitive spirit and inhabited by passion. Always ready to face new challenges, he successfully participated in the winter 2015/2016 Andros Electric Trophy: 11 podiums, 6 victories and the overall championship victory.

The year 2016 will be no exception! First non-Russian driver to be supported by SMP and Amato Ferrari, Matthieu Vaxiviere also participates in the development of the new SMP Racing team throughout the new V8 Formula 3.5, a potential catalyst to Formula 1.
