José Luis Martinez

Jose Luis Martinez (born 1984 in Mexico City, Mexico) is a TM Master Cup Series and TM Lights driver. He is mostly known for his humble, unassuming demeanor and charitable nature.

2009
Martinez was called up to drive the #51 LeCrent Lights Nemoto for Star Motorsports after their driver, Bruno Battaglia was injured in a car accident. Despite showing occasional speed, Martinez didn't run very well, and didn't get a TM Master Cup Series ride for 2010.

2010-2011
He did get a ride with the Motorsport Hermanos Gutierrez TM Lights team for 2010, formerly known as Slim Motorsports. He continued to drive for them in 2011, entering the Independent's Trophy for the team as well. In the 2011 Round of Daytona, he capitalized on the unusually high rate of attrition in that race to take an upset victory.

2012
Martinez's Daytona performance and a successful test earned him a drive alongside Yuliya Nosova at Katzev Engineering. A slow start to the year was capped off with a messy showing at the 2012 Round of Carbondale. However, Martinez picked up the pace during the European races. He earned respect at Brands Hatch, where he came home 5th, and nearly won the 2012 Round of France before being passed on the last corner of the last lap by teammate Yuliya Nosova.
