🇨🇴 JP Martinez

JP Martinez is a Bronze-graded amateur sportscar driver competing in Porsche Carrera Cup North America and GT World Challenge America. His Racer Rating of 4,078 places him at the professional level; this means he is capable of winning in strong national fields and beating established semi-professionals comfortably, though he operates primarily within the amateur and gentleman-driver tier of endurance racing. Martinez won the 2025 Porsche Carrera Cup NA championship, securing 5 victories and 9 podiums across 10 rounds with ACI Motorsports. His dominance in that series was evident; he finished on the podium in all but one start and averaged a second-place finish across his entire 14-race record to date.[1]

In head-to-head competition against his most frequent rivals, Martinez has shown a mixed but competitive record. He gained a positive head-to-head against Brady Behrman, a Bronze-graded one-time champion, finishing ahead of him in 9 of 10 shared races. Against stronger rivals such as Marco Cirone and Patrick Mulcahy, both professional-rated drivers, he held a slight edge, though he struggled against Alan Metni, a two-time Bronze champion who beat him more often than not. Martinez has also occasionally finished ahead of considerably stronger opposition: he beat FIA Gold-graded Colin Braun, a three-time champion, in three separate races, and defeated Riley Dickinson, a Silver-graded two-time champion, three times as well.

Since winning the Carrera Cup title, Martinez has moved into GT World Challenge America in 2026 with RS1, contesting four rounds to date and securing three podiums without a victory. His early record suggests a driver capable of sharp performances in the gentleman-driver and professional-am ranks but still finding his feet at the higher level of GT competition.
