🇧🇷 Rafael Martins

Rafael Martins is a professional driver rated at 4,288, racing solo in single-class national championships across three continents. He is FIA Silver-graded in sportscar and endurance racing, a tier below the full-professional Gold and Platinum grades. His most recent activity is in the Stock Car Pro Series, where he currently sits 24th in the championship after one round of the 2026 season still in progress.[1]

Martins has raced British F4, Pro Mazda Championship and Stock Car Pro Series across five indexed seasons from 2015 to 2026, compiling 56 starts for three different teams. He took a single victory in British F4 in 2016 while driving for TRS Arden Junior Racing Team, the outfit that won the drivers' championship that year with a field of 25 cars. Four podiums across his career have come from British F4; his one Pro Mazda outing in 2018 yielded no points, and Stock Car Pro Series has brought three starts without a finish in the points.[2]

In British F4 he regularly raced against James Pull, a professional graded Gold who has since competed in GB3 and GT World Challenge Europe, and typically finished behind Sennan Fielding, an entry-level professional and 2022 British GT GT4 champion. Martins finished ahead of Lando Norris, now a generational driver and 2025 Formula 1 champion, five times during their British F4 seasons; he also beat Toby Sowery, an established professional who has since raced Indy NXT and IMSA, on four occasions. The team he drove for most often, TRS Arden Junior Racing Team, has fielded 22 drivers across the index including Oscar Piastri, a generational talent now in Formula 1.
