Like many racing drivers, Molina started his early motorsport career in karting, winning successive Spanish Cadet Championships in 1999 and 2000, as well as the Catalonian Junior Championship in 2002 and Spanish Junior Championship in 2003.
In 2004 Molina began his circuit racing career in the Spanish Formula Junior series, where he finished the season in 6th place. The following year he stepped up to the Eurocup Formula Renault championship with Pons Racing, scoring three points to finish the season 28th overall. In 2006 he switched to the Spanish Formula Three Championship with the Racing Engineering team, taking one race win and a further five podium finishes to end the season 6th overall. He also drove for GD Racing in the final six races of the World Series by Renault season, scoring a point in the final race of the season at Barcelona.
For 2007, Molina moved up to the World Series full time with Pons Racing, scoring four podium positions including two race wins (at Estoril and Barcelona) on his way to 7th in the final standings. In 2008 he will once again compete in the championship, teaming up with Spanish driver Álvaro Barba at Prema Powerteam [1].
