Marta García

**Marta García López** (born 9 August 2000 in Denia, Spain) is a Spanish racing driver, who competes in the 2020 BRSCC W Series Championship using #19 as her race number. **García** raced in the 2019 edition of the W Series, claiming one race victory at the Norisring en-route to fourth in the Championship.

**García** is not related to Belén García, who made her W Series debut in 2020.

## Background

García began her career in karting in her native Spain, progressing through the ranks to secure a seat in the F4 Spanish Championship in 2016, having won the Trofeo delle Industrie in 2015. Her maiden car racing campaign was not a spectacular one, failing to score in any of her appearances, although she did secure a full season seat in 2017. That campaign saw García claim ninth after a few strong races, while also claiming a handful of appearances in the SMP F4 Championship.

2018 saw García return to karting after losing funding for her F4 exploits, racing to eighth in the Spanish KZ2 Championship.

## W Series History

García was one of the original 55 drivers to apply for the 2019 Driver Selection Test, and duly secured a full race seat for the 2019 BRSCC W Series Championship using #19 as her race number. She duly impressed at the season opening race in Hockenheim, fighting her way to third place after passing Sarah Moore after a Safety Car restart. The following round in Zolder saw García again fight with Moore in the lead pack, ultimately finishing fourth ahead of the Brit.

García would have a quieter run in Misano, running outside of the lead group, before storming to pole position for the 2019 Norisring Race. She duly aced her start to claim the lead over Jamie Chadwick and Beitske Visser, and ultimately managed to escape up the road as the title pretenders fought between themselves. That kept her narrow title hopes alive, although a ninth place in Assen ensured that García dropped out of the title fight with a race to go.

Indeed, García's season rather fizzled out after that, as she claimed a lowly eighth place at the 2019 Brands Hatch Race, slipping to fourth in the Championship on the final day. Yet, that fourth place would be more than enough to secure García an automatic seat for the 2020 Championship.

### Teenage Dreams: 2020

García opted to take her automatic entry for the 2020 Championship, again using #19 as her race number.
