Career
Early career
Drudi begin his karting career in 2005, at the age of 7, in his native Italy.[2] In 2009, he claimed three karting titles, taking the 60cc class titles in the Easykart Italy, Easykart European (Cadet), and Campeonato Area Centro series. Two years later, he won the 100cc class of the Easykart European series; his final major championship in karting before transitioning to single-seaters after 2014.
He began his single-seater career in

2022 saw Drudi join Car Collection Motorsport's entry in the GT World Challenge Europe, taking part in both the Sprint and Endurance Cups.[12] Drudi expressed his confidence ahead of the season, claiming that the team could fight for overall race victories.[13] Alongside Luca Ghiotto and Christopher Haase in the Endurance Cup, Drudi finished 24th in the overall points classification, scoring all 12 points in a fourth-place finish at Imola. In the Sprint Cup, with Ghiotto again as his co-driver, Drudi would come home 10th, registering a season-high finish of fifth at Magny-Cours.
Drudi began his 2023 campaign at the Bathurst 12 Hour,[14] although his car would retire early in the race following a crash. Drudi returned to his factory driver duties at the Kyalami 9 Hours, where he finished third overall alongside co-drivers Ricardo Feller and Patric Niederhauser.[15] His partnership with Feller continued throughout the 2023 season, where the two shared Tresor Orange1's Audi for the full GT World Challenge Europe campaign. Fellow factory driver Dennis Marschall joined the entry for the Endurance Cup.[16] 2023 also saw Drudi make his debut in DTM, once again competing for Tresor Orange1.[17] Drudi enjoyed his most significant successes of the season in Sprint Cup, where he won four races alongside Feller en route to the overall championship.[18] Through ten races, the duo tallied seven podiums and two pole positions. Drudi suffered a difficult maiden season in DTM competition, however, failing to finish half of the 16 races and placing no higher than 11th in any individual race. He would end the season 26th in the drivers' championship with 12 points. At the conclusion of the 2023 season, Drudi parted ways with Audi Sport.[19]
Personal life
Mattia's father, Luca, is a former racing driver. Luca is a two-time 24 Hours of Le Mans class winner, taking victory with Viper Team Oreca in 1998 and Seikel Motorsport in 2001.[20]
