Sandro Espinosa is a semi-professional racer competing mainly in solo, single-class club racing in the United States, primarily in NASA and BMW CCA Club Racing, with additional endurance starts. He drives the BMW 325i for his main team in NASA's Spec E30 and PTD/PTE classes, and has also raced the spec BMW E46 in BMW CCA's Spec E46 class. He holds three NASA championships, in 2014, 2015 and 2017, all with the BMW 325i.[1]
Espinosa's record centers on a fifteen-season NASA career spanning over two hundred starts, with a strong win and podium rate, supplemented by a smaller but productive run in BMW CCA Club Racing and periodic endurance outings in American Endurance Racing, a multiclass, multi-driver championship run across two countries. He also spent a season racing the Lamborghini Huracán Super Trofeo in the Am class for TR3 Racing. His 2026 NASA season is still underway; through the opening two rounds he has a win and a podium and currently sits 31st in the standings, with rounds still to come.[2]
The fields he races in run from amateurs to graded professionals sharing the same track, and Espinosa's most frequent rivals are a competitive amateur with over a hundred NASA starts and an FIA Bronze grading, and a developing-level driver with nearly three hundred NASA starts; he typically finishes ahead of both. His notable scalps include a professional, FIA Silver-graded Giano Taurino, the 2024 Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA Pro champion, beaten once, and Robert Nimkoff, a professional with American Endurance Racing experience, also beaten once.
