Ricardo Zonta is an established professional racing solo in the Brazilian Stock Car Pro Series, driving the No. 10 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross for RCM Motorsport. He has been active in competitive racing for 21 seasons, from 1996 through the present, and holds championships in International Formula 3000 and the FIA GT Championship.[1]
His early career brought quick success; he won the 1997 International Formula 3000 championship with Super Nova Racing and the 1998 FIA GT Championship with AMG Mercedes, the latter in endurance racing where he shared cars with co-drivers. He then spent seven seasons in Formula 1 with Toyota between 1999 and 2005, taking 37 starts. From 2014 onward he has made stock car racing his primary focus, competing full-time in the Stock Car Pro Series and accumulating 246 starts, 13 wins and 41 podiums in that series. Across all his indexed racing he has taken 313 starts and 23 wins. In the 2026 Stock Car Pro Series season, still in progress, he currently sits 18th in the championship after 12 rounds.[2]
On the Stock Car Pro grid, Zonta races regularly against established professionals of similar standing. He has closely matched results against Rubens Barrichello, a four-time Stock Car Pro champion and former Formula 1 driver, and against Júlio Campos, a Silver-graded professional. His record includes victories over Mark Webber, the former Formula 1 driver and 2016 WEC LMP1 champion, across their meetings in open-wheel racing; he has also beaten Ralf Schumacher once in their careers.
