MARTA GARCÍA Steps Up to GT World Challenge Europe Endurance with UNX Racing

July 10, 2025

GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • MARTA GARCÍA lands a prime seat in GT World Challenge Europe’s Endurance Cup with UNX Racing, piloting the #888 Porsche 911 GT3 R alongside Mathieu Detry and Fabian Duffieux. This marks a major step up for the 24-year-old Spaniard who’s been systematically building her GT3 credentials after conquering the inaugural F1 Academy championship in 2023. The Bronze Cup category placement gives her the perfect platform to prove she belongs among Europe’s premier GT3 field.
  • Her GT3 transition hasn’t been without drama – GARCÍA survived a terrifying 22G impact at Barcelona that triggered a fire, then delivered a gritty fourth-place finish at Paul Ricard while nursing a damaged car to the line. These early experiences showcase exactly the kind of resilience that separates future stars from the pack. Her immediate success in the Ligier European Series, including victory at Spa-Francorchamps in just her second start, proved she could adapt quickly to sports car racing’s different demands.
  • While bad luck has plagued her Michelin Le Mans Cup campaign with Iron Dames teammate Vanina Ickx, GARCÍA’s raw speed and racecraft continue to shine through. The GT World Challenge Europe opportunity with UNX Racing offers her a chance to compete against an international field without the mechanical gremlins that have frustrated her season. This is exactly the kind of high-profile platform that can accelerate a driver’s development – and we’re here for watching her make the most of it.
