The 18-year-old is the first of four signings that Fortec hope to make in the coming weeks, and he aims to follow in the footsteps of his countryman, Jaime Alguersuari, who won the title in his first season of British F3 in 2008.
"I used to race against Jaime in karts and sometimes I used to beat him, so it would be fantastic to follow his example and to win in the UK," said Garcia. "I don't have much experience of the circuits yet but I am looking forward to the challenge."
Fortec's chief race engineer Mick Kouros was impressed with Garcia's form in testing and has high hopes for the coming season.
"He set fast times at all the circuits we visited and was quick to adapt to our car and the tyres," said Kouros. "We're looking forward to helping him challenge for championship victory."
