Marc Cota-Robles is a semi-professional driver who raced at the competitive amateur level. His Racer Rating of 3,030 places him in the semi-professional band, the level of drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and compete mid-pack among full professionals. Cota-Robles competed in the Star Mazda Championship in 2002, his only season on record, with two race starts that yielded no wins or podium finishes. He finished 26th in the points.[1]
Cota-Robles showed occasional competitiveness against established drivers during his brief racing career. He finished ahead of Tim Jennings, James Goughary, Pierre Ehret (an FIA Bronze graded driver), and Glenn Cooper on individual occasions, though these were isolated results rather than sustained head-to-head patterns. His average finishing position of 8.5 across his classified starts reflects moments of pace amid a generally unsuccessful season. With only two races in a single series, his record offers limited data on his potential as a driver.
Cota-Robles has since retired from racing and moved into other work. Recent activity suggests involvement in automotive journalism and promotion rather than competition; he has been associated with coverage of motorsport events and clean-energy automotive projects in Southern California.
