NEREA MARTÍ Claims Emotional Home Victory at Valencia in Dominant BMW Drive

September 15, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

NEREA MARTÍ delivered a masterclass in resilience at her home track in Valencia, turning a disappointing qualifying performance into a dominant overall victory in Race 2. Starting from P13 alongside teammate José Manuel de los Milagros, the BMW España Motorsport duo proved that strategy and raw pace can overcome technical disadvantages, including an unfavorable Balance of Performance that hampered their BMW M4 GT4’s speed all weekend.
The Valencia weekend showcased exactly why MARTÍ has become a force in GT racing since her 2021 debut. After a cautious but calculated Race 1 drive that saw her climb from 12th to hand over a fifth-place car to de los Milagros, she returned for Race 2 ready to capitalize on her teammate’s brilliant opening stint. Taking over the car in second place with 10 minutes remaining, she made the defining move past the leading Toyota to secure both overall and GT4 Pro victories.
This wasn’t just any win – it was MARTÍ’s home race with family and friends trackside, the kind of pressure-cooker moment that separates good drivers from great ones. Her post-race comments revealed the emotional weight: “It was so nice to celebrate the victory in front of everyone at home.” The victory also carries serious championship implications, giving the BMW duo crucial momentum as they head to Jerez for the penultimate round of their title fight.
