Formula One Grand Prix Adelaide South
Australia. Personally Signed Mauricio Gugulmin born 20 April 1963 Brazilian former racing driver
and businessman, who competed in Formula One
from 1988 to 1992, and CART from 1993 to 2001.
Began competitive kart racing
aged seven, winning several regional and national titles. He progressed to Formula Ford
in 1982, dominating the British and European championships. Gugelmin then won
the 1985 British Formula Three
Championship, further winning the Macau Grand Prix to emulate Ayrton Senna
two years prior. Gugelmin signed for March
in 1988, making his Formula
One debut at his home Grand Prix in Brazil. In his
rookie season, he scored points finishes at the British and Hungarian Grands Prix, driving the Adrian Newey-designed
881.
Retaining his seat for 1989, Gugelmin achieved
his only career podium finish at the season-opening Brazilian
Grand Prix. After two further seasons at the re-branded Leyton House—including a non-classified championship finish in 1991—Gugelmin moved to Jordan
for his 1992 campaign, but was
unable to score points again and departed at the end of the season.
After exiting Formula One, Gugelmin
competed in CART IndyCar from 1993 to 2001.
Across 147 races, Gugelmin achieved eight podiums, including one victory at the
Molson Indy Vancouver in 1997,
finishing a career-best fourth in the standings that year. His best result at
the Indianapolis 500 came in 1995, where he finished sixth after
leading 59 laps. For a period, he held the world speed record for a closed race track,
set at California Speedway in 1997 at a speed of
240.942 mph (387.759 km/h). Gugelmin retired from motor racing at the
end of 2001 following the death of his son.Details enclosed.
