🇧🇪 Maxime Martin

Maxime Martin is a Platinum-graded professional endurance and sportscar racing driver with a Racer Rating of 5,063, placing him among established professionals who compete full-time at the top level. Martin has spent his 12-season career primarily in long-distance racing; the World Endurance Championship is his home series with 39 starts since 2012, while he has also raced extensively in GT World Challenge Europe, IMSA WeatherTech, and the major 24-hour enduros. Across all series, he has recorded 113 starts, 8 wins, and 23 podiums. His results reflect a career defined by consistency and professionalism rather than outright dominance; his average finishing position sits at ninth, and he has proven capable of success across multiple manufacturers and teams, holding factory drives with BMW, Aston Martin, and currently Mercedes-AMG.[1]

Martin's head-to-head records against his most frequent rivals paint a picture of a capable mid-field professional. Against Davide Rigon, a Platinum-graded champion, Martin's record is nearly even at 21 ahead and 25 behind across 46 races. Against stronger opposition, the picture shifts: he trails Maro Engel and Charles Weerts, both Platinum-graded multi-time champions, decisively (10-29 and 9-30 respectively), though these represent his most intensive racing partnerships. His record against Jordan Pepper, a Gold-graded professional, runs 16-23 in Martin's favour. Isolated standout results, victories over Max Verstappen, Alex Palou, and Franco Colapinto, reflect occasional strong days rather than a pattern of beating elite drivers; these came once each across the entirety of his career. His most recent season in 2026 has brought no wins or podiums across four WEC rounds, suggesting a current downturn in an otherwise steady career competing at the professional endurance level.[2]
