Matthew Harding

Matthew Harding is some goofball who runs the awful diecast racing channel - WCDC. He also commentates and drives on the channel. Some conspiracy theorists claim he is also Gary The Giant - the cameraman, but nobody likes conspiracy theorists.

## Driving Career

### *Isle of Man*

Harding originally signed for Team New Zealand in 2020, for the upcoming World Cup. However before the tournament began, he was replaced by Spanners Watson. He then signed for Isle of Man, joining Kelsie Roberts. Harding drove a Ford Fiesta in Division 2, but he couldn't driv.....I mean he was too good of a driver for the car. 2 poor qualifying performances from the car meant that Harding got 23rd and 24th in the two rounds that he took part in. In both rounds he failed to get out of the group stage.

On October 5, Harding was involved in an accident with Lesotho's Likano Nkoto, which ruined Harding's chances of advancing, while securing Nkoto's. This started a long running feud between the pair, which of course was the fault of the man from Lesotho, since Harding is such an awesome guy.

### *Nissan*

For the first ever support tournament - The season 1 Makes Shield, Harding again picked an awful car after signing for Nissan. His car, a 1962 Nissan Junior, was consistently outperformed by team mate Phuoc Nguyen Huu and his 2017 Nissan GTR. Nissan were eliminated in the first round by Mini, after a race off in which Huu drove.

### *Lower Hutt*

Harding joined his niece - 2 year old Isabella Harding, to form a formidable partnership for Team Lower Hutt. Together they reached the quarter finals of the Area Trophy, with Harding in his Corvette Stingray being a car that could finally handle his stellar ability. Lower Hutt lost to eventual winners Bangkok, but it took another race off. Harding raced Bangkok's Ploychompoo Boonsing, losing 14 - 6. However we all know she cheated in that race somehow, being the inferior driver.

### *WCDC Racing Team*

Both uncle and niece paired up again for the Ryu Asada Memorial, with Uncle Matthew driving a Pagani Huayra convertable. This was his best car yet, and even though his niece qualified better, Harding was lethal in the tournament itself. WCDC made it to the final where they were defeated by Jack John and Katie Racing. With the way that JJK's John Receuver was driving his Jaguar, surely there was something illegal going on there.

During the tournament, driver world rankings were introduced. Whilst the rankings were inaccurate because they forgot to take into account the poor quality of Harding's Ford and Nissan, he quickly climbed the rankings, moving 28 spots just between the start of the tournament and the quarter finals.

## Commentary Career

As well as being an awesome driver, Matthew Harding also puts in long minutes in the commentary booth. He has commentated most WCDC Races, and is known for the occasional minor error such as the following:

"There goes Ross Taylor" (He meant Mark Taylor)

"And a point for Phancha Orapin" (He meant Orapin Phancha)

and "Welcome to my slideshow of pics of me in a bikini" (He meant WCDC, no such pictures exist so please do not google them)

On October 5 2020, as he witnessed himself being brutally taken out by that thug, Likano Nkoto, Matthew Harding quit commentary. 10 seconds later he launched his comeback, citing "personal reasons" for quitting, and labelling his heroic return as "not a threat to tell my Mummy at all!"
