ROOKIE DEL AÑO. No de la resistencia, del motorsport en general.
🇫🇷 Victor Martins plasma un añazo en WEC con Alpine y un debut magistral en LMP2 con Proton ganando en #AsLMS. Milesi flojo otra vez, cedió 27s con Vaxivière.

P3 to P1 across his double stint today, putting on new tyres for the second stint + closing down a 25 second gap to the lead to give car #11 a comfortable lead to take to the finish… another day another masterclass!
Victor “world class” Martins for 2026 Rookie of the Year 🏆
10 years ago, Victor Martins stood on the podium in his first ever race weekend in race cars after just 3 years in karting
10 years later, he’s won his first ever LMP2 race weekend on his first try, after just one season of endurance under his belt

and take into account his amazing LMP2 debut so far this weekend…
I do not think its ridiculous to pick him for Rookie Of The Year 2026👍
on paper, a perfect split between 3 drivers of one car in a endurance championship would be 33% of track time each.
Victor Martins, in his rookie WEC season this year, has driven 46% of all the races combined for his team.
Although this is helped by Alpine only using two drivers for each car for the last 3 rounds, Victor still drove 36% of his crew’s races before this decision; and an insane 65% when his car had just him and Gounon driving, far more than what you’d expect for a team with two drivers (50% each).
And despite all this driving, he was still fairly consistently the quickest Alpine driver this year, all cars combined.
He still has no job next year.

this entire ALMS weekend has been a full blown Victor Martins prop machine. Commentators cannot spend 10 minutes without praising him😭😭 AS THEY SHOULD by the way
