Dave Matthews returned to the sport in the early '90s as an enthusiastic supporter of his son James's racing. James Matthews finished runner-up in British FRenault in '93, then won the British and European titles in '94 (that year, in the British series, he matched Alain Prost's record of 11 wins in any FRenault championship). For various reasons James never won a race in two seasons of British F3 ('95 and '96) and faded away from the sport. Dave stayed involved though: he invested in Manor Motorsport (the team with which James had so much success in FRenault), enabling it to make the move into Formula 3 in 1999 and win titles with Marc Hynes ('99) and Antonio Pizzonia (2000). Matthews Sr is based in the West Indies these days but as far as I know is still a part-owner of Manor.
