Martin Byford (born 27 May 1972) is a British racing driver from Colchester. He is currently competing in the BTCC for AmD Milltek.

Racing career

Martin began racing in single seaters, mainly in Formula Ford and Formula 3 cars. He later moved onto tin tops, racing in several club series.

He moved into the British GT Championship in 2000, where he achieved a few podium finishes. For 2001 he raced in the Renault Clio Cup UK, finishing 3rd in the championship after a successful debut season. Martin remained in the championship for 2002, however he only managed 4th position in the championship.

Martin's next championship titles were the 2003 Super Coupe Cup and 2005 Mazda MX5 Championship. In 2006 he returned to the Clio Cup and finished 5th in the championship, in 2007 he won the championship despite not winning a race.

2008 saw Martin move into the Seat Cupra Cup, where he finished 3rd in the championship after achieving three wins.

Budget issues prevented Martin from racing full time for the next few seasons, until he was given the chance to race for AmD Milltek in the BTCC after their previous driver Tom Onslow-Cole left the team.^[1]
