Full description (Unused)[]

If there is someone who can threaten Jack Benton's win, it is the 29-year old Sofia Martinez. Sofia hails from Latin America and brings her calculating nature into the race tracks. While her style is completely different from Jack's, she still often finishes first. Whereas Benton's style is aggressive and calculating, Sofia's is based on sheer driving skill and tactics. She picks the best lanes and sticks to them, trying to avoid contact where it is unnecessary. Sofia can be seen as rough, distant and outspoken, but generally she is the most professional of all racers in FlatOut. Most of the time she holds up her public image as the coolest racer around, but occasionally her private life charm and warmth comes through. Sofia's calculating nature gives her a natural advantage in royal flush, where she continually comes up with the highest combination of cards.

Driving Style[]

Martinez is one of the strongest drivers in FlatOut 2 and FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, rivaled only by Jack Benton. She's highly skilled and prefers a clean driving style, avoiding collisions when possible.

Martinez is an average driver in the Derby Class. She drives the slow and light Chili but often secures a decent position, due to her skill. However, she is easy to push around due to the size and strength (or lack thereof) of her vehicle. Due to the weakness of the Chili, she performs poorly in demolition derbies, and is often wrecked right off the bat.

Martinez is a good driver in the Race Class. She drives another lightweight vehicle, the CTR, but it is fairly nimble, so coupled with her clean driving skills, she can often secure a decent position in races. However, she is yet again very weak in demolition derbies, due to the CTR's lack of strength and weight.

Martinez poses a major threat in the Street Class. This time around, she drives a much stronger and heavier vehicle, the Canyon. As usual, her style of driving is quick and clean, and it's harder to throw her off track than in the other two classes, due to the weight of the Canyon. However, if thrown off track, it can be difficult for her to regain her place in the ranks. She does very well in demolition derbies, due to the Canyon being much stronger than most other vehicles of its class.
