Roberto Gonzalez is a professional-level endurance racing driver, rated 5,562. His career spanned eight seasons of international sportscar competition from 2012 to 2022, during which he contested 42 races across the World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech, accumulating 5 wins and 18 podiums. He holds FIA Silver grading, a professional categorisation within sportscar and endurance racing typically awarded to drivers early or mid-career. His major career achievement was the 2022 WEC LMP2 championship, contested with JOTA, where he finished first with one win and five podiums across six rounds.[1]
Gonzalez's record shows him as a consistent podium finisher rather than a dominant force; his average finishing position across classified starts was fourth. His head-to-head record against frequent rivals reveals a mixed competitive picture. He held losing records against both Nicolas Lapierre (a Platinum-graded driver and two-time WEC champion, beaten 6 to 16) and Ho-Pin Tung (Gold-graded 2018 WEC LMP2 champion, beaten 9 to 15). However, he showed clear advantage over Giedo Van Der Garde (Platinum, 17 ahead to 4 behind) and Frits Van Eerd (17 ahead to 3 behind), and held even records against other professionals such as Filipe Albuquerque (11 ahead to 9 behind) and André Negrão (Gold-graded, 12 ahead to 7 behind). He occasionally finished ahead of much stronger drivers; he beat Kenta Yamashita (Platinum, rated 7,080) five times and Robert Kubica (Platinum, rated 6,501 and a multi-championship winner across different series) on seven occasions, though these were isolated instances rather than patterns of superiority.
Gonzalez competed primarily for JOTA across 20 starts, a team that fielded experienced drivers and accumulated 12 race wins during his tenure. His sole IMSA start in 2019 with DragonSpeed resulted in a victory, demonstrating capability in that field. He retired from active racing after 2022.
