Hi! I'm circuit racing driver Martin Rump.
Sport has been part of my life since I was a toddler. Over the years I've enjoyed challenging myself in different sports, and I still do several of them in parallel. Alongside motor racing, I also go skiing, cycling, running, do Thai boxing, strength training and basketball — and there are also sports that don't fit into my training schedule right now but are waiting for future challenges. So Garmin's 'Multi-Sport' watch category suits me perfectly. With a healthy lifestyle and a fairly busy training plan, I've found the ideal companion in the Garmin Fenix 7x, which I wear around the clock. In motor racing, measuring body metrics is especially useful in endurance races, where you sometimes have to drive mentally and physically exhausting hours in a car cockpit reaching sauna-like temperatures. Outside of racing, most of my workouts are also done with Garmin. It's worth mentioning that top-level circuit racing requires strong year-round physical preparation — it's not just turning a steering wheel, as many tend to mistakenly think! In the off-season I take part in marathons and training camps, while during the racing season I focus mainly on specific strength training and high-volume aerobic training to stay in my best racing shape. A busy travel schedule and changing environments bring their own challenges, of course, so Garmin's training log and health monitoring features are especially useful for me.
This season I'm taking a big step on the European racing scene, competing in the European Le Mans Series in the GTE class with a Porsche 911 RSR as my main programme, with the goal of earning a place in the prestigious Le Mans 24 Hours endurance race.
