Career

Originating from Valencia, García launched his motorsport journey through karting between 1993 and 1999. In 2000, he secured the championship in the Spanish Formula Toyota. He progressed to compete in Formula Nissan 2000 in 2001 with Campos Racing, continuing in 2002 with teams Escuela Lois and Venturini. During that year, he also participated part-time in Spanish Formula Three with GTA.

In 2003, García committed to a full season in Spanish F3 driving for GTA before moving to Racing Engineering in 2004, where he captured the championship title. He stayed with Racing Engineering as they transitioned into the GP2 Series in 2005, teaming up with Neel Jani. The following year, he switched to the Formula Renault 3.5 Series with RC Motorsport, finishing second behind Alx Danielsson. García returned to GP2 with Durango in 2007 and went back to FR3.5 in 2008.

During the 2008 season of the Superleague Formula, García raced for Sevilla FC, achieving one victory and ending the season tenth overall. In 2009, he competed in the Atlantic Championship, securing seventh place overall along with three podium finishes.

Shifting focus to stock car racing, García made his debut in the NASCAR Whelen Euro Series at the Le Mans finale in 2013 for Ford Autolix Competition, where he earned a podium finish. His first full campaign came in 2014, concluding fifth overall and claiming a win at Nürburgring. After partial participation in 2015, he returned full-time for the 2016 season with SPV Racing and Double T by MRT Nocentini, finishing eleventh with four podiums.

In 2017, García excelled at his home race at Valencia, winning both events. He also secured victories at Venray and Hockenheim, ultimately ranking third in the championship standings.
