Michela Martin (born February 22, 2000 in Daventry, England) is an British racing driver currently racing for Union Saver Developments in AutoReject 2.0.

Career

She started off in SEAT Leon Supercopa, racing in the inaugural season in the only car of Cardel Racing United. She only scored points twice in the first seven races, but got a heat win and final 2nd in the finale at the Nürburgring. The team went for the same arrangement for next year, and she bookended the season with wins, but never got on the podium otherwise. She also missed two races to compete in the first three rounds of AutoReject 2.0 as a substitute for the injured Pierre St. Laurent. In the first two rounds, she just managed to get points, coming in the last points-paying position three out of four times. She improved for her final weekend at Austria, winning the feature race. She raced in the Caterham Winter Series and came seventh overall, her best result being a 3rd at Abu Dhabi.

She switched to AR2.0 full-time for 2018, signing for the team she had raced for last season, Plus One Racing Engineering. It didn't start well, as she scored two points in the first four weekends. Austria was her best race, seventh in the feature and victory in the sprint. Another pointless weekend followed, then she got second and the fastest lap in the sprint in Germany. Belgium produced one point, then she came 7th and 6th in Hungary to end the season on a somewhat positive note.

She stayed in the series for 2019, moving to Union Saver Developments.
