🇩🇪 Michael Martin

Michael Martin holds a Racer Rating of 2,119, placing him in the competitive amateur band. This level describes drivers who race at club and regional level, typically self-funded, competing in fields that do not include the top professionals. His FIA Bronze categorisation in sportscar racing denotes an amateur gentleman driver racing alongside professionals in endurance and GT competition, rather than a professional driver in those categories.[1]

Martin has contested 17 races across two series since 2022, primarily in Ferrari Challenge machinery for Maranello Motors–Schumacher Racing. His record consists of four podiums from six starts in International GT during 2022, where he finished tenth in the championship despite taking no wins. His subsequent move to Ferrari Challenge has yielded 11 starts without a podium. Across all racing, he averages a seventh-place finish. The calibre of his regular rivals reflects his level; he has raced frequently against FIA Bronze drivers such as Manuela Gostner and Thomas Gostner, both established amateurs, though he has finished behind them consistently in shared events. His occasional victories over drivers rated as high as FIA Silver or mid-level Bronze competitors, including Spencer Pumpelly and Ernst Kirchmayr, remain isolated results rather than patterns, as Martin typically trails such drivers in head-to-head competition.[2]

Martin remains active in Ferrari Challenge racing through 2025, continuing at his established competitive amateur level in one-make and GT series.
