Matthew Parry (born 14 January 1994) is a former British racing competitor.

Karting

Hailing from Cardiff, Parry started his karting journey in 2006, achieving second place in the Minimax category of the Hoddesdon Kart Club Championship. A standout accomplishment during this period was his triumph in the 2010 Super 1 National Rotax Max Junior championship.

Formula Ford & InterSteps

Parry made his initial foray into single-seater racing in 2011, competing in the British Formula Ford Championship with Fluid Motorsport. Over 24 races, he secured points in eighteen events and concluded the season eighth overall.

The following year, he switched to Fortec Motorsport to contest the InterSteps championship. Demonstrating dominance, Parry won thirteen races and stood on the podium 21 times out of 23 starts, ultimately clinching the championship title.

Formula Renault

Continuing with Fortec Motorsport in 2013, Parry participated in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup. He amassed five victories and added four more podium finishes, securing the championship crown. His impressive performance led to a nomination and subsequent win of the McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, which included a £100,000 prize and an opportunity to test a Formula One car with McLaren.

In 2014, Parry competed in the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series for Fortec Motorsport while maintaining his involvement with the Caterham Racing Academy since 2011.

GP3 Series

Parry entered the GP3 Series in 2015, driving for Koiranen GP alongside teammates Jimmy Eriksson and Adderly Fong.

July 2016 marked his maiden GP3 victory at the Hungaroring, where he began from second on the grid. He topped Friday practice sessions and narrowly missed out on pole position to Nyck de Vries. In the subsequent race, Parry finished fifth after benefiting from a penalty assessed to another driver.
