🇺🇸 Luca Mars

Luca Mars is a professional endurance racing driver competing across multiple national GT and sportscar championships. FIA Silver-graded, he races for Turner Motorsport in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, piloting TCR and GT4-level production-based sports cars in a field mixing amateurs with graded professionals. His primary team through his career has been RS1, for which he won the 2026 GT4 America Pro-Am championship and the 2025 IMSA Pilot Challenge title.[1]

Mars has recorded 18 wins across 127 starts in nine indexed seasons from 2017 to 2026. His breakthrough came in 2024, when he took six wins in the IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge and won its GSX championship; that same year he posted nine podiums in GT World Challenge America, a multiclass endurance series running shared GT3 cars. In 2025 and 2026 he has won championships in two IMSA series, the Pilot Challenge and GT4 America, establishing himself as a regular front-runner in those grids. His record in single-driver or shorter-format racing is smaller but stronger; he won a Trans-Am race in 2022 and has taken podiums in club-level sprint racing.[2]

Mars typically finishes ahead of entry-level professionals and regular competitors in his series; Sean Quinlan and Moisey Uretsky, both IMSA Pilot Challenge regulars, finish behind him consistently. He has raced against drivers of far greater renown, he finished ahead of generational talent Andrea Kimi Antonelli and elite professional Franco Colapinto, though those encounters represent single meetings within much larger professional grids rather than sustained head-to-head competition. His strength lies in endurance racing where shared driving, strategy and consistency matter as much as outright pace, and in the GT4 platform where he has built his record of multiple championships.
