Breaking down barriers in any sport is not easy. It takes a special character, with a determined mindset. Step forward, Charlie Martin.
Charlie Martin is a racing driver and LGBTQ+ activist. Her mission is to make history as the first transgender driver to compete at the the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
She has overcome huge adversity since transitioning mid way through her career, and uses her unique life experience as a trans woman in a male dominated sport to help organisations become more inclusive. Through a combination of story telling and tested methodology, Charlie teaches clients how to better support the LGBTQ+ community.
Her ability to deliver a clear message via a compelling narrative with tangible actions has helped multiple Fortune 500 companies to engage authentically with their employees and create inclusive working cultures.
With 18 years racing experience across Europe and North America, Charlie has come a long way despite having never competed in karting growing up. Today she is a BMW Friend of the Brand, and finished 2nd in class at the support race for the 24 Hours of Le Mans in June 2024, one step away from her ultimate goal.
Her unstoppable determination and desire to succeed have set the stage for one of the most unique & compelling stories in modern motor racing.

Transgender athletes in sport with Olympian Sharron Davies & racing driver & trans activist Charlie Martin
As trans athletes continue to be subject to discriminatory bans elsewhere, motorsport’s proudly inclusive stance feels like a breath of fresh air.
To celebrate Pride month I’m sharing how authenticity has enabled me to unlock my true ability and perform at a higher level 🧠🔑
I just shot a whole load of content around racing, teamwork and performance with @alonglines so there’s lots more to come – would love to hear your thoughts in the comments! 🫶🏼☺️

Hello @bmwm M2 CS 🙌🏼💜 following the M2 Racing launch last month, here’s the road car in the best colour (IMHO) Velvet Blue. Also spoiler alert ‼️ it’s got a very sexy duck tail 🦆
FYI, I shot this in one take as I only had 15mins to do a reel for this and the M2 Racing, plus a YouTube video for both – boom! 🎥🤪🎬⏱️
