UK based Venezuelan Rodolfo Gonzalez has been voted top Inter-American Racing Driver of 2006. The was organised by FIPA (Federación Interamericana de Periodistas del Automóvil) with votes coming from motorsport journalists from 18 countries in North South and Latin America.
In 2006 Gonzalez won the British F3 National Class championship with 14 wins during his victorious season.
The top 6 in the voting were:
Name Nationality Championship Country Points
1 Rodolfo Gonzalez Venezuelan British F3 UK 67
2 Sebastian Bordais French Champcar USA 66
3 Felipe Massa Brazilian Formula 1 Worldwide 58
4 Edison Luch Puerto Rico Formula Renault Latin America 52
5 Bruno Senna Brazilian British F3 UK 49
6 Ernesto Viso Venezuelan GP2 Worldwide 45
Gonzalez was extremely flattered and commented “This prize means a lot
to me, because it was chosen by journalist experts on motorsport from
18 different countries of central America, South America and North
America.
So to be in front of drivers like Bourdais, Massa and Bruno Senna is great and is certainly very unexpected.”
For 2007 Gonzalez is weighting up his options but is likely to step-up to Championship class in British F3.
