Martin was snapped up by the Kingfisher junior squad during the preseason, and impressed initially before his team mate was decided. Later in the season, it would be decided that he would be partnered by young Canadian Calvin Brooks, but Brook's appointment only seemed to make Martin faster.
Martin lined up 9th on his F3RWRS debut in Australia for race 1, the start of a long run of top 10 qualifications, while Brooks could only manage 36th. Martin fell back a little in the race to finish 12th, and in Race 2, he started 10th and retired on lap 9 with transmission failure. This set the tone of the year, brilliant qulifying laps followed by bad luck or falling back slightly during the race.
Race One in Turkey followed the 'bad luck' formula; with a spin near the end denying him points, and Race 2 followed the 'underwhelming drive' formula, with Martin finishing well down the order.
Of the 62 cars taking the start for the chaotic Monaco SuperPrix, Martin qualified 7th, while Brooks languished in 40th, with the gap between the two the biggest gap between team mates on the grid. Martin was set for points, but he was squeezed out at the chicane and beached the car, but was able to continue but only to 23rd position.
Martin showed his wet weather prowess during qualifying for the Round of America around Laguna Seca, with an uncharacteristic downpour soaking the track. He lined up 7th while Brooks was 32nd. The race however had parts of the 'bad luck' formula, Joe Harmsky's Shonan attempted an unrealistic pass at the Corkscrew, punting Martin of into the gravel. He manged to rejoin, but a water leak put him out and brought out the red flag. Race 2 saw Martin start 7th, but a slightly disappointing drive saw him finish 18th.
