  ## Career history
  
  ### Single-seaters

He moved to Formula Renault for 2006, competing in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup (which his brother Antonio won in 2009) and the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.
  
  ### Touring cars and GT
  
  Having failed to win a race in single-seaters during three years, Félix da Costa moved to the Spanish SEAT León Supercopa in 2007, finishing ninth. He moved to the new SEAT León Eurocup for 2008, where he also finished ninth. His performances at Motorsport Arena Oschersleben were enough to win a guest drive with World Touring Car Championship team SUNRED Engineering for the Race of Italy at Autodromo Nazionale Monza. For 2009 Félix da Costa competed in the Portuguese Touring Car Championship and the International GT Open. He also competed in the European Touring Car Cup at Braga for British Touring Car Championship team Bamboo Engineering, in a Chevrolet Lacetti alongside team regular Harry Vaulkhard.
