Gonzalo Rodríguez was a professional single-seater racing driver from Uruguay who competed in international open-wheel championships in the mid-1990s. He raced for Team Astromega in International Formula 3000 from 1997 to 1999, a single-class series fielding amateurs through to graded professionals. He also started once in Formula 3 Macau in 1995.[1]

Rodríguez took three wins and seven podiums across 28 career starts. His peak came in 1999, when he scored a win and three podiums in the eight International Formula 3000 rounds raced, finishing fourth in the championship standings. He was closely matched against established professionals including Jason Watt and Soheil Ayari, both regular opponents in the series. Among stronger drivers he faced, he finished ahead of 1999 International Formula 3000 champion Nick Heidfeld on multiple occasions, and also beat Fabrizio Gollin, who would go on to win the 2004 FIA GT Championship.[2]

Rodríguez was killed in a crash during practice for a CART event at Laguna Seca Raceway in 1999, which would have been his second start in that series.
