About Martin
Making his rally debut as a co-driver in 2003, Martin gained plenty of experience at motorsport events in his home country. He made his WRC debut in 2010 with Karl Kruuda at Rally Jordan, and the following year led to him winning two rounds of WRC 2 to finish in fifth. He began working with Ott Tänak in 2016, winning his first-ever WRC event in Rally Italia Sardegna in 2017. Since 2018, the crew have become regular victory challengers, taking multiple wins and securing their place at WRC’s top table. A triumphant season in 2019 saw them take the drivers’ and co-drivers’ titles. The highlight of Martin’s debut season with Hyundai was certainly his and Ott’s first win for the team at their home event, Rally Estonia.
