Célia Martin (born 4 October 1991) is a racing driver from France. She currently competes for the Iron Dames in the FIA World Endurance Championship and the European Le Mans Series.

Racing career

A late starter to motorsport at the age of 27, Martin began her career on the Nürburgring in 2018 having moved to Adenau in Germany the year prior in order to pursue racing professionally. After qualifying for a Level A Nürburgring permit, she joined WS Racing's "Girls Only" project in 2019. Remaining a regular member of the team until the end of 2023, Martin's Nürburgring highlight was a class win in the 2021 edition of the 24 Hours.

Having conducted testing for Jaguar Land Rover on the Nordschleife in 2018, Martin was entered in the first season of the electric Jaguar I-Pace eTrophy. Contesting the Pro-Am class, Martin finished fourth and last of the full-time drivers with five podium finishes.

In 2023, Martin entered ADAC GT4 Germany with her Girls Only co-driver Fabienne Wohlwend in a PROsport Racing-run Aston Martin. The pairing scored only one points finish in 12 races whilst their team-mates Mike David Ortmann and Hugo Sasse won the championship, and Martin was downgraded to a Bronze FIA rating at the end of the year.

In 2024, Martin joined the Iron Dames to drive in the Le Mans Cup, alongside Swiss driver Karen Gaillard. She took part in the European Le Mans Series and FIA World Endurance Championship end of season tests as a precursor to her being promoted to the Iron Dames' primary driver line-up, brought about after Sarah Bovy was promoted from Bronze to Silver rating.

Racing record Martin's Aston Martin Vantage GT4 during the 2023 ADAC GT4 Germany Oschersleben round.
