Borja García

Borja García (born 15 December 1982 in Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain) is a Spanish racing driver, who competed in the FIA GP2 Series during the 2005 and 2007 seasons. The reigning Spanish F3 Champion before his GP2 career, García would compete in two full campaigns of GP2, scoring two podium finishes.

García was signed by Racing Engineering for the inaugural GP2 campaign, who had run the Spaniard to the Spanish F3 title in 2004. Unfortunately for García he would be thoroughly out-paced by teammate Neel Jani throughout the campaign, only collecting two podium finishes as Jani claimed two wins.

After sitting out the 2006 season, García returned to GP2 in 2007, with Durango placing the Spaniard in their #26 car alongside Karun Chandhok. Once again, García's highlights would be overshadowed by those of his teammate, although the Spaniard would out-score Chandhok across the campaign to finish tenth.

García would move to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for 2008, before moving to the US to compete in Formula Atlantic. After also competing in Superleague Formula, García would move to the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series in 2013, competing in the Elite class until the end of 2018.

Background
García began his career in karting, in 1993, racing primarily in his native Spain before moving into Spanish Formula Toyota in 2000. The Spanish youth would go on to win his first campaign in single-seaters, which earned him a seat in the World Series by Nissan for 2001. A good rookie campaign saw García steadily improve, claiming one podium as he claimed tenth in the Championship.

A Spanish Focus: 2002 - 2005
For 2002 García committed to a second season in the World Series, finishing third, a feat he would match in Spanish Formula 3 in the same season. Third would again result for García in his sophomore campaign of Spanish F3, with the Spanish youth also making appearances in Formula Lliure, winning on his debut. For 2004 García would compete in both the main and Winter versions of Spanish F3, finishing as runner-up in the latter before sweeping the title in the former after a switch to his future GP2 employers Racing Engineering during the winter.

GP2 Series History
García was retained by Racing Engineering at the end of 2004, who would move the Spanish youth into their new FIA GP2 Series squad for the inaugural 2005 campaign alongside Neel Jani.

Post GP2 Series Career
After losing his seat in GP2 at the end of 2005, García switched to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for 2006, finishing as runner-up. FR 3.5 would again be García's port of call after he lost his second GP2 seat at the end of 2007, although the Spaniard would only compete in five rounds before switching to Superleague Formula mid-way through 2008. One win would see García finish tenth for Sevilla FC, with the Spaniard ultimately leaving Europe to join the w:c:motorsport:Formula Atlantic for 2009.

A NASCAR Nuance: 2010 - 2019
After finishing seventh in Formula Atlantic, García returned to Europe to compete in Superleague Formula in 2010, dropping to fifteenth. After sitting out 2011, García entered the Spanish Endurance Championship, with a strong campaign in Class 2 seeing him claim three wins and the class championship. For 2013 García would enter the NASCAR Euro Series, taking part in two races before securing a full campaign in 2014.

García went on to compete in four full seasons of NASCAR Euro Series, achieving a best end-of-season result of third in 2017. The 2018 and 2019 seasons saw García wind down his involvement, only competing in a couple of rounds in each campaign.
