Career
In 2002, Costa secured the title of Spanish Formula Three Champion. He then achieved class champion status in the Spanish GT Series for one season. During 2004 and 2005, his participation was limited, with his only notable victory being at the Barcelona 24 Hours. After BMW Team Italy-Spain, overseen by Roberto Ravaglia, parted ways with Antonio García, Costa triumphed in a driver selection contest against fellow Spaniard Ander Vilariño. The 2006 season saw him driving the newly introduced BMW 320si for the factory-backed BMW Team Italy-Spain in the FIA World Touring Car Championship. However, after failing to accumulate points during the initial four rounds, he was replaced by Dutch competitor Duncan Huisman.
