Early career

When Campbell was 14, he got a Datsun 1200 coupe, he raced with that with the support of his mother. Campbell's grandfather Bill and aunt Teresa are both racing drivers, Bill managed Morgan Park Raceway in the family's home town of Warwick for many years until his death in 2015. Matt then got some driver coaching and entered the Queensland and Australian Formula Ford Series racing with Synergy Motorsport in the national series.^[1]

GT Racing

In 2014, Campbell competed in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Australia dominating the B class championship. He moved up to the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia Championship in 2015, finishing third in the series, and then won the 2016 series.^[2]

In 2017, Campbell relocated to Germany and he drove for Fach Auto Tech in the Porsche Supercup, finishing third overall. This led to a drive for Dempsey-Proton Racing in the LMGTE Am class of the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship. He won the class at the second round of the series, the 2018 24 Hours of Le Mans, driving with Christian Ried and Julien Andlauer. The same driver combination also took victory in the third round, the 2018 6 Hours of Silverstone. Campbell and Andlauer would finish second in the LMGTE Am championship after receiving a points penalty for a software issue that ultimately denied them a championship victory despite winning five of the eight rounds. The 2019-20 season with Dempsey-Proton was disappointing ending eighth in the championship. Campbell also raced in GT3 around the world, for Rowe Racing in the 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup in Europe and for Wright Motorsports in the 2019 Blancpain GT World Challenge America making top five finishes in both series. The season highlight was his charge through the field in the final hour to win the 2019 Bathurst 12 Hour with Earl Bamber Motorsport.^[3] In 2020, outside of his Dempsey-Proton duties, Campbell was runner up in the Intercontinental GT Challenge racing with Mathieu Jaminet and Patrick Pilet, racing with the Absolute Racing and GPX Racing teams. He also raced with star Belgian GT3 team Manthey Racing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken Serie and with CORE Autosport in the IMSA Sportscar Championship. 2021 saw Campbell link with Proton Competition's American campaign in the IMSA Sportscar Championship as a co-driver with Cooper MacNeil in the GTLM class, placing fourth in the series sharing victories three times. In the World Endurance Championship, Dempsey-Proton was the best of the Porsche teams in LMGTE Am and finished third in the championship with Christian Ried and Jaxon Evans after a pair of second places at the final two rounds. Another highlight was a come-from-behind victory in the 2021 Paul Ricard 1000km with GPX Racing. Campbell and Jaminet dominated the 2022 IMSA Sportscar Championship in the GTD Pro class with Pfaff Motorsports winning five of the ten races.

Supercars

Campbell made his Supercars debut for Nissan Motorsport in 2016, co-driving with Todd Kelly in the Pirtek Enduro Cup.^[4][5] In 2017, Campbell joined defending champion Shane van Gisbergen at Triple Eight Race Engineering and took fifth place at Bathurst, to date his best finish in the Bathurst 1000.
