Albert has been linked to the world of motor from very small: his father was champion of Spain in
resistance and his brother competed in the World Championship in 250cc. Albert, of course, also
had several motorcycles: Yamaha PW 50cc., Yamaha PW 80cc. and a Kawasaki KX 60cc.

During that time he learned many things then apply for his racing career. Also, running on a motorbike
with his brother helped him to acquire the spirit of fighting for victory until the end.

In 2000 his father Lluís received a call from Jaime Alguersuari ‘father’, family friend. Jaime proposed
that his son Albert took part in the first edition of the tournament 'Trophy Marc Gene: promises of
karting'.
For Albert was the first time that he ran in a kart and he not only participated, also won over the rest.

Given these results, Arisco proposed dispute the Catalan and Spanish championship, where Albert
excelled in every race.

In 2002, with the team Benikarts Juan Santos, Albert returned to show his qualities at the wheel of
a kart and proclaimed champion of Spain and Catalonia.

A year later, in 2003, Costa moved to the Yamaha category and was half of the championship in
Benikarts and half in the team of El Vendrell Sport Kart, with Tony Kart and brothers Gil: the second
part of championship was much better.

In 2004 he followed in Sport Kart, this time in the Junior category, getting many "poles" but without
ever getting race results. And there was another change of team, this time to Genikart, Genís
Marcó-owned equipment. Although it was closing a great season, Albert had to leave the competition
because his parents could not afford such expenses.
And Eduard Ratés appeared; he got a sponsor for Albert: Pamodín. With those revenues Albert could
compete for the 2005 season.

In 2005 Albert was proclaimed champion of Italian Open Masters, or world champion. In addition,
Genikart changed chassis (Birel to Intrepid) as the victory still has more merit.

The year 2006 was a difficult year. Genikart again changed chassis (FA) and Albert didn’t quite fit.
However, Albert played the Asia Pacific Trophy in Suzuka where Costa had to leave for the crash
of another driver (1st and 2nd in the pre-final). Besides, he did a few test in an F3.

In 2007 Albert took part in the British F3 Championship with Kimi Raikkonen's team but unfortunately
had to leave after his sponsor, Akasvayu, could not continue to meet sponsorship. For Albert was a
very hard time because he saw as its competitors were running: those whom he had fought in the
circuits.

In 2008 Fernando Larratea got the necessary sponsors and Albert participated with the Epsilon
Euskadi team in the Formula Renault 2.0 (Eurocup and WEC).
Costa showed the potential it had after having been long without running. However, he got
great results but he also made errors of inexperienced.

The year 2009 was the best for Albert. He won two European championships and had 13 victories
from 28 races in contention. Moreover, the worst result in the Eurocup was third.
At year end, Albert ran with the car WS3.5 and got great results (with little experience): a second
place behind Red Bull test driver, Daniel Ricciardo.
