Ricardo Gonzalez was an established professional racing driver competing in multiclass endurance and sprint championships. His primary career was in the FIA World Endurance Championship, where he spent five seasons from 2012 to 2016 driving LMP2 prototypes for RGR Sport by Morand. He also made three starts in the SKUSA SuperNationals, a national-level multiclass sprint series in the United States.[1]
Gonzalez accumulated four wins and eighteen podiums across thirty-three WEC starts, the bulk of them coming in the LMP2 class. His best result came in 2016, when he finished second in the championship standings despite a season marked by strong consistency; he took two wins and seven podiums from the nine rounds raced. His peak years were the early to mid-2010s, when he was a regular frontrunner in the LMP2 field alongside established names in the series.[2]
His record against the grid showed him closely matched with Roman Rusinov, a two-time WEC LMP2 champion and FIA Gold-graded professional; Gonzalez usually finished ahead of Nicolas Minassian, who had thirty-four WEC starts of his own. He also finished ahead of Mike Conway, an established professional and FIA Platinum-graded driver who went on to win the 2021 WEC Hypercar championship, across four meetings between them.
