Maxime Martin is an established professional racing driver, FIA Platinum-graded, competing primarily in multiclass endurance racing. He races for Mercedes-AMG Team GetSpeed in GT World Challenge Europe, for Iron Lynx in the FIA World Endurance Championship, and for Winward Racing in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. His cars are Mercedes-AMG GT3s and similar machinery across these campaigns.[1]

Martin has raced for eighteen seasons across 150 starts, accumulating 12 wins and 35 podiums. His record in the WEC spans fifteen seasons and includes two wins and nine podiums across 40 starts. He won the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans in GTE Pro for Aston Martin and the 2026 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Mercedes-AMG. In the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie he has taken four wins from 27 starts since 2012. GT World Challenge Europe, his most recent regular series, accounts for 44 starts with two wins and five podiums since 2019. He has also raced in IMSA WeatherTech, the Nürburgring 24 Hours, Bathurst 12 Hour, the European Le Mans Series and the 24H Series, winning at Bathurst in 2024. In the 2026 WEC season currently underway, he sits 16th in the championship standings after five rounds.[2]

Martin races regularly against two professional rivals of equivalent standing: Augusto Farfus, a FIA Gold-graded driver with extensive WEC and IMSA experience, and Davide Rigon, the 2016 WEC LMGTE Pro champion and a Platinum-graded professional who has contested the full WEC circuit. Martin is closely matched with both. He has also finished ahead of Max Verstappen, a four-time Formula 1 champion, once in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, and once ahead of Alex Palou, a five-time IndyCar champion. His primary team affiliation is Team WRT, for which he has started 31 races.
