Tom Martin III is a semi-professional driver whose rating of 3,006 places him in the competitive amateur band; this level describes quick, usually self-funded racers competing regularly against paid drivers rather than with them. His career spanned two seasons in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin from 2016 to 2017, where he made 24 starts without recording a win or podium finish. He averaged a finishing position of P14.6 across all classified races and ended his most recent season in the series P13 overall after twelve rounds.[1]
Martin's results against the regular field show a mixed record. He finished ahead of Ashton Harrison, an FIA Silver graded driver, in 18 of 22 shared races, a notably strong head-to-head margin that stood as his most consistent advantage. He also outfinished Max Faulkner in 14 of 20 meetings and beat Keith Jensen, an FIA Bronze driver, in 12 of 19 races. However, Nathanial Sparks, who won the 2016 Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin championship, finished ahead of Martin in 21 of their 22 encounters; the same pattern held against Hernan Palermo, who finished ahead in 14 of 20 races. Martin raced for Winding Road Team TFB, which fielded four drivers across its record without a race win. He also accumulated occasional results against stronger drivers, including four finishes ahead of Nikko Reger, a later championship winner in the same series, and three ahead of Mason Filippi, a professional with an FIA Silver rating.
