He is one of only a handful of Canadian racing drivers who made the step into the European motorsport scene with some success.

His brother, Jesse Mason was also a successful racing driver, competing Internationally and finishing 3rd in the Indy Lights championship in 2004.

At the time he was too young to race in karting in North America, so Motocross in Canada in the CMRC was the only option.

He scored a multitude of victories for his Oxford Brookes University Kart team, and finished 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, in the Championship respectively.

[2] Mason made his open-wheel racing debut, competing in his father's Formula Vee in the SCCA in 2004.

His first foray in European racing and in Formula Ford, Mason excelled around the Silverstone Circuit, in a car prepared just by him and his brother.

After a race long battle for 3rd position, Mason slid off the road into the gravel with 2 laps remaining.
