FIA Formula 3 Championship
2022
After testing for the team in 2021 post-season, Martí made the step up to the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2022 with Campos Racing.[14][15] Martí had a disappointing season, but in Imola during the feature race, he made a strategy gamble to stay on the wets on a drying track, and led the race for a number of laps before pitting for slicks. He finished the race in 15th. He scored his first points finish in the final round at Monza in the Sprint Race, where he finished 9th. He ended the season 26th in the standings with 2 points, ahead of teammate Hunter Yeany but far from other teammate and fellow countryman David Vidales.

Sportscar racing
Martí made his sportscar and prototype debut at the 2022 Historic Zandvoort Grand Prix competing in the Masters Endurance Legends, organised by Masters Historic Racing, in a Duqueine-run Norma M30.
