Luca Mars is a Silver-graded semi-professional who races in national multiclass endurance championships, competing in GT4 and production-car classes. He drives for Turner Motorsport in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, where he has spent most of his racing career, and races a GT4 car for RS1 in GT4 America. His rating of 4,402 places him as a professional-level driver.[1]

Mars has won four championships across three series. He took the 2024 IMSA VP Racing SportsCar Challenge title with KOHR Motorsports, then won back-to-back Pilot Challenge championships in 2025 and 2026 with Turner Motorsport and RS1 respectively, and claimed the 2026 GT4 America championship with RS1. Across his 120 starts since 2017, he has recorded 16 wins and 43 podiums. His most consistent output has come in the Pilot Challenge, where 45 starts have yielded 4 wins and 12 podiums, and in GT4 America, where 18 starts produced 5 wins and 7 podiums. In 2024, competing in the one-off international GT series, he took three podiums from four starts.[2]

Mars typically finishes ahead of Bronze-graded professionals in his regular field, including Moisey Uretsky and Sean Quinlan, both of whom he meets regularly in the Pilot Challenge. His strongest single-race result came against Formula 1-level opposition; he finished ahead of generational driver Andrea Kimi Antonelli in at least one race meeting. Turner Motorsport, his primary team since joining for the 2025 season, has taken multiple wins across the endurance calendar this year.
