David Martínez (born December 8, 1981, in
Indycar Grand Prix of Sonoma).[2]
Racing career
Early career in Mexico
Starting at the age of seven through his early twenties, Martínez raced in Mexico in
Barber Dodge Pro Series (2003) winning the first race he participated in (at Fundidora Park in Monterrey
, Mexico).
Europe and Atlantic Championship (2004-2006)
In 2004 Martínez migrated to
2005, Martínez contested some rounds of the A1 Grand Prix Series.[citation needed
]
In
2006 Martínez returned to Atlantics with the US RaceTronics Team, and repeated his fifth place in the championship despite a challenging season in which he switched teams halfway through the year, but still managed to continue his success on Mexican soil by finishing third at the Monterrey, Mexico event.[citation needed
]
Champ Car and Indy Lights (2006-present)
In 2006, Martínez joined
Mexico City. David started 10th and ran as high as 5th in the race, but during a routine pit stop on lap 45, his gearbox prevented him from returning to the race. The crew managed to repair it, but the job took several minutes and he finished 6 laps down in 14th. Martínez's last Champ Car race came in the series' final race, the 2008 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach
where he finished a career-best eighth as one of three Forsythe/Petit entries.
In 2009 his only professional outing was in the
Infineon Raceway
.
