Matheus Morgatto (born 10 October 2003) is a Brazilian karting driver from Alphaville, São Paulo, competing in the OK and KZ2 categories for Birel ART Racing. In 2022, he won the FIA Karting World Championship in OK. He is currently ranked 22nd in the FIA International Karting Ranking in the OK category and 69th in the KZ2 category.
Career
Morgatto began racing competitively in 2013, competing exclusively in North and South American championships until 2018. He found success early in the Florida Winter Tour, coming in 2nd place in the Micro Max category in 2014, 3rd in Mini ROK and 2nd in Mini Max in 2016, 3rd in Junior ROK in 2017, and 1st in Junior ROK in 2018. These results, along with his results in other series, led to him joining the Tony Kart Racing Team in 2019.
However, from 2019 to 2021, Morgatto was unable to claim an overall podium in any series. In these three years, he raced for Tony Kart Racing Team, Parolin Racing Kart, and Birel ART Racing.
In 2022, he won the FIA World Karting Championship in Naples with DPK Racing, beating the reigning champion Tuukka Taponen, who came in 2nd place. Later that year, he once again won the Florida Winter Series, this time in the Senior ROK category.
In 2023, he won ROK Vegas in the ROK Pro GP category and took 3rd place in the SKUSA Pro Tour in X30 Senior with PSL Karting. So far, in 2024, he has placed 5th in the FIA Karting European Championship's OK category, is racing in the Champions of the Future Euro Series, and is set to compete in the FIA World Karting Championship again with Birel ART Racing.
