GP2 Series

Repsol drivers. Borja García
For the driver born in Valencia, 2005 will probably be the most important year in his career as a race driver. On the one hand he has an unbeatable chance to show his qualities as a driver in the GP2 Series, and on the other he is looking forward to his test with the Toyota Formula 1 team on April 17 at Paul Ricard. Borja García, reigning Spanish Formula 3 Champion, wasnt always lucky in his career, but this has changed drastically when he joined Racing Engineering. Borja already impressed the world of international motorsports when he topped the timesheets at a test day of the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2004. Nevertheless the young Spaniard looks back at a tough 2004 Spanish Formula 3 Championship fighting against the experienced Portuguese Manuel Giao, but still characterizing the season with his dominance on the tracks to finally take the Championship title.  Profile and sports career Date of birth: December 15.12.1982Place of birth: ValenciaFirst victory: 91.
