About Conner

Professional test and rally driver Conner Martell’s race efforts are managed by Vermont SportsCar. Over the past decade, Conner has built a versatile motorsport career that now focuses on North American and international rally competition.

He first made his mark in rallycross, earning multiple victories and podiums in the Red Bull Global Rallycross Lites series and  FIA World Rallycross Lites. In 2018, he dominated the ARX2 category of Americas Rallycross, securing the championship with a string of commanding performances.

In recent years, Conner has shifted his focus to stage rally, competing in the 2C Compétition Škoda Fabia RS Rally2 alongside veteran co-driver Alex Gelsomino. The pairing has proven to be one of the most exciting teams in the American Rally Association, highlighted by three consecutive Boone Forest Rally victories (2023, 2024, 2025), multiple podiums at national events including Sno*Drift, Olympus, Oregon Trail, and the Lake Superior Performance Rally.

For the 2026 season Conner is competing in the French Gravel Championship and select rounds of the WRC, pushing for victories and establishing himself as a contender for future international opportunities.

Gotta watch out for those Turkeys! 🦃 Throwback to last summer when we did a shoot with @marco.rizzo1 the @pbr Bull Rider. It’s always fun getting to share the experience of being in a Rally Car with others. This was in one of @vermont.sportscar incredible builds.
