🇪🇸 Belen Garcia

Belén García is a semi-professional driver competing at a level that reflects strong club racing and the entry end of professional fields. Her Racer Rating of 3,742 places her in the semi-professional band, meaning wins in pro-am and one-make classes and mid-pack finishes among full professionals. Across four seasons from 2021 to 2024, she started 29 races with two podium finishes and no wins, averaging P13.8; she has now retired from active racing.[1]

García's career centred on the W Series, where she started 15 races across two seasons and scored one podium in 2022, when she finished fifth in the championship. The bulk of her competitive head-to-head record comes from this series, where she faced a national-level field that included several established professionals. Against the stronger drivers present, she finished consistently behind multiple FIA Silver and one FIA Platinum-graded rival; notably, she was outpaced by Jamie Chadwick in 14 shared races, finishing ahead only once. Against mid-field peers such as Nerea Martí and Sarah Moore, she won roughly half the head-to-heads. She made brief excursions into single-seater and sportscar racing in parallel, contesting Formula Regional European with no podiums in 2021 and later racing in the Asian Le Mans Series and European Le Mans Series as an LMP3 driver. Her single strongest result came at her home race in the European Le Mans Series in 2024, where she scored a top-five finish for DKR Engineering.[2]

The isolated occasions on which García finished ahead of drivers rated substantially higher, such as Gabriel Bortoleto and Franco Colapinto, both elite-level drivers, were single instances in shared races and reflect the normal variation of endurance and multi-driver events rather than a pattern of competitive parity. Her retirement came at the end of 2024, though recent reports from late 2025 suggest some continued racing activity outside the major series included on this record.
