Martin Cao is a Chinese racing driver who competed primarily in single-seater machinery during the early 2010s. His recorded open-wheel career comprised 20 starts across FIA Formula 3 European and Formula 3 Macau between 2014 and 2015, driving for Fortec Motorsports. He accumulated no wins or podium finishes during this period, with his most substantial campaign coming in the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European season where he started 15 rounds and finished twenty-third in the standings.[1]
Cao transitioned to touring car racing in subsequent years, where he achieved considerably greater success. He became a two-time champion of the TCR China Touring Car Championship, claiming consecutive titles in 2023 and 2024. His career in circuit racing extended to various national and international competitions, establishing him as a notably more successful competitor in the touring car discipline than his early single-seater efforts suggested.[2]
