Javier Villa is a retired Spanish professional driver who raced in single-class sprint championships. He competed primarily in the GP2 Series between 2006 and 2009 for Super Nova Racing, then moved to the World Touring Car Championship in 2011 with Proteam Racing. He held the FIA Silver grade, placing him below the full-professional Platinum and Gold classifications within GT and endurance racing.[1]
Villa took three wins and eight podiums across 69 GP2 starts over four seasons. His move to touring cars in 2011 brought 24 World Touring Car Championship rounds with a single podium finish and an 11th-place championship standing. His total career record spans 93 starts and three wins.[2]
The fields he raced contained a mix of amateur and semi-professional entrants alongside graded professionals. Villa regularly met Lucas di Grassi and Vitaly Petrov, though he typically finished behind di Grassi while staying closely matched with Petrov. He finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton once during his GP2 years and beat Nico Hรผlkenberg three times, both drivers who would go on to Formula 1 success, though these came in a period when they were beginning their careers.
