Career
BMW M6 GT3 that won the 2016 Spa 24 Hours.
Martin racing in the 2018 6 Hours of Silverstone.

Born in Uccle, Martin finished fourth in 2006 in the Formula Renault 1.6 Belgium series.[1] In 2007 he began racing in the Eurocup Mégane Trophy, finishing third overall with one victory. The following year he finished as runner-up, with six wins. He also won the French Renault Clio Cup title. In 2009 he raced mainly in the FIA GT3 European Championship for AutoGT Racing in a Morgan Aero 8, winning at Silverstone.

For 2010 Martin began racing in the new FIA GT1 World Championship for the Marc VDS Racing Team in a Ford GT. Along with teammate Bas Leinders he scored two podium finishes and ended the season 14th in the standings. In 2011, Martin teamed with Frédéric Makowiecki to win 4 races, including both rounds at Ordos. Between 2011 and 2013 Martin raced in the Blancpain Endurance Series mainly driving a BMW Z4 GT3 also for the Marc VDS Racing Team. His best result came in 2012, where he finished runner-up together with his teammates Bas Leinders and Markus Palttala.

In 2014 Martin made his debut in the DTM championship for BMW. He won a race at the Moscow Raceway, the first victory for a Belgian in the DTM.[2][3] In 2015, he won another race, this time at the Nürburgring.[4] In 2016, he only managed to finish twice on the podium, and ended the year winless. 2017 was his most successful season yet in the DTM, ending the season with one victory and four podiums.

In 2016 Martin won the Spa 24 Hours together with Alexander Sims and Philipp Eng, driving a BMW M6 GT3.[5] By winning this race, he followed in the footsteps of his father Jean-Michel Martin, who won the race four times.

In late 2017 Martin announced he would leave BMW after 5 years as a factory driver. He later announced he would join Aston Martin Racing as a factory driver to race in the 2018 FIA World Endurance Championship.

gollark: Perhaps an extension to HTTP with a PUNCH method, like the HTCPCP.
gollark: <@357932279231807488> This is why we need some sort of standard for punching over the internet.
gollark: I think a better solution would be a gender-neutral singular pronoun which you can actually distinguish from a plural one, but nobody seems to want that.
gollark: I think the whole they-singular thing is kind of inelegant, but a workable solution at least.
