Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, Landan graduated college a year early with a double major in Management and Marketing at Louisiana State University. Before taking to the tracks, he was also an accomplished gymnast, competing for more than a decade in state and regional championships.
Matriano Lim’s racing career started with some simple fun at club track days with his dad. His competitive spirit eventually took over this getaway-weekend hobby and led him to race in the National Auto Sports Association (NASA). Quickly moving from a turbo Miata to an Ariel Spec Race Atom to a NASA Prototype, he flew through the ranks and became a top competitor in the series. The support from his NASA track family is what drove him to go pro and join the 2023 F4 United States Championship.
A full season in the Jensen Global Advisors team was highlighted by winning the Omologato Perfectly Timed Pass Award with 64 successful overtakes through the ultra-competitive Formula 4 season. Matriano Lim is planning to continue on the improvement curve in New Zealand ahead of his return home for the United States 2024 seasons.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled for the opportunity to race in this series and in such a beautiful country,” he said.
“Being involved in so much exposure and racing experience offered by the series will help me to greatly improve as a driver. With this series shaping so many astounding drivers, I’m hoping to take after that and use my new experiences as preparation for the United States 2024 seasons.”
