Víctor García (born 10 March 1990 in Madrid) is a professional racing driver from Spain.
García began his karting career in the late 1990s, starting out in the cadet ranks before working his way up to Spanish and European Championship ICA status. The highlight of his career came in 2003 when he won both the Spanish Yamaha and Valencia District Yamaha championships.
García made his single-seater debut in late 2006, racing in the final four races of the Spanish Formula Three Championship season in the secondary Copa F300 class. The following year he raced a full season in the main Class A, driving for the GTA Motor Competición team. He finished the season in eleventh place, taking a podium place at the first round in Jarama as well as six other points-scoring positions.
2008 saw García remain in the series for a second full season, racing for Escuderia TEC-Auto, who had won the title the previous season with Máximo Cortés. Two podiums at the first round at Jarama saw García lead the championship early on, but his results began to fade and he switched teams mid-season, joining Italian outfit RP Motorsport for the final four rounds. He eventually finished the season in 15th place.
García remained in Formula Three for 2009, this time switching to the British series with Fortec Motorsport. He finished in the points on nine occasions to finish 14th in the standings. Despite finishing seventh in the first race at Spa-Francorchamps, he was classified in third position due to a number of guest drivers finishing ahead of him, who were ineligible for championship points.
