Martin Short

#88 Race Engineer
AKA Marty

Marty

He might be helping BFeen with all the numbers and data he can get his hands on, but Marty knows how to get himself around a race track, and fairly well might we add!

A former New Zealand Formula Ford champion, Marty was a race winner in the NZV8 category before turning his attention to engineering, completing an engineering degree in 2017.

He joined Triple Eight at the start of 2018 as a data, systems and junior design engineer and has also served as the race engineer for Triple Eight’s GT programme since 2019.

Marty graduated to the main game; alongside Broc having been his race engineer during 2021’s title-winning Dunlop Super2 Series campaign.

Marty and BFeen capped a successful first year together with a historic Adelaide 500 win in 2022 – which has set the tone for the pair to be consistent Supercars Championship frontrunners year in, year out.

And even though we might include “Test/Reserve Driver” on his job description, Marty is still waiting for the magical tap on the shoulder for a run on a test day. Don’t worry mate, we are sure the day will come… soon?
