Career

Karting

Martí began karting aged nine through her father's rental kart track.[2] Late in her karting career, she was contracted to Fórmula de Campeones in an attempt to step up into professional racing.[3]

Lower formulae

Martí made her single-seater debut in Spanish Formula 4 in 2019, scoring a podium in her first event.[4] A pair of seventh places late in the season would see her finish 16th in the standings and 2nd in the female trophy behind Belén García.[5][6]

W Series

In 2020, Martí qualified for the second edition of the W Series, a Formula 3 championship exclusively for women.[7] The season was eventually cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,[8] after which she opted to race in the Spanish Karting Championship, where she finished 8th in the KZ category.[9]

Martí would eventually make her W Series debut in 2021. She achieved her first and only podium of the season at the Hungaroring, but finished 4th in the standings—as the best rookie—having scored points in all eight rounds.[10]

FIA Formula 3

Martí was selected to take part in a one-day FIA Formula 3 test at Magny-Cours in November 2021, alongside fellow W Series driver Irina Sidorkova and Iron Dames racers Maya Weug and Doriane Pin.[11]
