Nicolas Costa is a Brazilian racing driver whose career has spanned sports car endurance racing and stock car competition. He came up through Brazilian domestic categories, most notably claiming the Porsche Carrera Cup Brasil title in 2023 before moving into international endurance competition with United Autosports in the FIA World Endurance Championship. That background in production-based GT machinery provided the foundation for his step up to the WEC, where he raced alongside a roster of professional and amateur drivers typical of the series' multi-class format.[1]
Across his time in the WEC with United Autosports, Costa made 8 career starts without recording a win, a podium, or a championship, and his Racer Rating stands at 3,098, placing him 979th among active drivers on a scale where the leading names in the sport sit between roughly 10,000 and 11,500. In the 2026 season he contested 8 rounds without a win or podium, finishing 98th in the standings. Costa is now listed as retired from this WEC program, with his broader career having since taken him into the NASCAR Brasil Series.[2]
