Matthew James Wilson (born 29 January 1987)[1] is a British rally driver from Cockermouth in Cumbria.

Wilson was initially a brief competitor in single seaters, winning 17 out of 22 races to become T Cars Champion in 2002, before graduating to the Formula Renault UK Championship in 2003, finishing 18th overall for Manor Motorsport.

Despite months out of action due to the injury, he still finished seventh overall in the 2005 British Rally Championship driving for Eddie Stobart Motorsport, scoring 38 points.

In 2007, Jari-Matti Latvala and Henning Solberg were nominated for Stobart's manufacturer points, taking some pressure off Wilson and co-driver Orr.

The 2008 season began with an outing Wilson referred to as "moderate" – he finished tenth in Monte Carlo, scoring no points in drivers' nor manufacturers championship.

He was one of a number of WRC celebrity drivers to take part in the event in memory of McRae, who died in 2007.

Following this he suffered a broken ankle during training; this forced him to miss the following rounds in Sweden, Mexico and Portugal, but he spoke of returning for either Argentina or Greece.

Wilson Jr gained funding from several Cumbrian firms which enabled him to enter the 2012 Wales Rally GB.
