. He took part in both Formula One
and the Champ Car World Series
. He participated in 80 Formula One grands prix, debuting in 1988
for the March
team. He achieved one top-three finish and scored a total of ten championship points in the series. He competed in the Champ Car
series between 1993 and 2001, starting 147 races. He won one race, in 1997 in Vancouver
, finishing fourth in the championship that year. His best result in the Indianapolis 500
was in 1995 where he started and finished in sixth position, leading 59 laps. For a period, he held the world speed record for a closed race track
, set at California Speedway

, Brazil
on April 20, 1963 into a wealthy family. His father is a timber merchant and a collector of antique cars. Gugelmin is married to Stella Maris and they have two sons, Bernardo and Gabriel. Their third son, Giuliano, who was Bernardo's twin, died from cerebral palsy
in April 2001 at the age of six.
as a child in Brazil in 1971, winning his local championship nine years in a row from 1971 to 1979. He progressed to the Brazilian national championship in 1980, which he also won. He progressed to single-seater
racing cars in 1981, when he won the Brazilian Formula
Fiat
Championship.
In 1982 Gugelmin, like many Brazilian drivers of his generation, moved to the United Kingdom
to further his racing career. He was a longtime friend of future Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna
, who was already racing in the UK, and the two shared a house from 1982 to 1987. Senna, having previously been a Formula Ford
driver with the Van Diemen
team, used his influence within the organisation to secure Gugelmin a race seat with them for 1982. By the end of the year, Gugelmin was British Formula Ford
1600 cc champion. He followed this up by finishing as runner-up in the British Formula Ford 2000 cc series the following year. He moved to the European Formula Ford series in 1984, and won the title at his first attempt. A step up to Formula Three
followed in 1985 with West Surrey Racing
, winning the British championship
and the prestigious Macau Grand Prix
. Gugelmin then spent two years in Formula 3000, the final step before Formula One
. Gugelmin took one victory in Formula 3000, at Silverstone
in 1986 while driving for the Ralt
factory team.
, Leyton House Racing
, Jordan Grand Prix
Gugelmin entered Formula One, the highest category of circuit racing defined by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile
(FIA), motorsport's world governing body, with the March
team in 1988, as team-mate to Ivan Capelli
. He had previously been in contention for a drive with Lotus
in 1986 but was overlooked in favour of Johnny Dumfries. The season started badly as Gugelmin suffered five retirements from the first six races due to mechanical failure, but soon afterwards he took his first points scoring finish with fourth place at the British Grand Prix
. Gugelmin scored points in one other race with fifth place at the Hungarian Grand Prix
. He finished the season as the highest-scoring newcomer in the Formula One World Championship, ending the year in 13th position overall.
1989 was barren for the March team, and Gugelmin took their only points scoring finish of the year at the Brazilian Grand Prix
. He finished in third position; an excellent result given that March were financially troubled. At the French Grand Prix
, Gugelmin was involved in a large accident at the start of the race which resulted in a spectacular barrel roll
. A photograph of the accident was later selected for a London Exhibition as one of Formula One's most striking photographs. The race was stopped as a result; Gugelmin took the restart from the pit lane and set the race's fastest lap, the only one of his F1 career.
In 1990 the March team was sold, and became known as Leyton House. Gugelmin was once again partnered by Capelli, but the team's CG901 chassis proved troublesome and between them they failed to qualify six times, including at the Mexican Grand Prix
. However, at the next race, the French Grand Prix
, modifications had been made to the car which improved the performance. Running the whole race without changing their tyres, Capelli and Gugelmin ran first and second during the race. Gugelmin retired mid-race with engine problems and Capelli was passed by Alain Prost
for the lead late in the race. Gugelmin also scored a point for finishing sixth in Belgium
.
1991 saw internal turmoil at the team with several key staff leaving. The car lacked pace and both Gugelmin and Capelli struggled; the team scored just one point all season. Gugelmin's best result amounted to three seventh place finishes, although he retired from eight of the season's sixteen races. In September, the team's principal, Akira Akagi, was arrested on suspicion of fraud. Money was tight and Gugelmin made the decision to leave the team at the end of the year. A switch to the Jordan team
for 1992 did not improve Gugelmin's fortunes. The team struggled with financial difficulties and scored only one point all year. The team's Yamaha
engine suffered from a lack of power, and the car was unreliable. Gugelmin failed to finish eleven out of the sixteen races, and scored no points.
, PacWest Racing
Gugelmin signed with Dick Simon Racing
to take part in the North American Champ Car
racing series for the last three races of 1993. Although races at Mid Ohio
and Nazareth
resulted in non-finishes, Gugelmin finished 13th at Laguna Seca
although this was not high enough to receive any points. Despite this, Gugelmin demonstrated promise. In 1994, Gugelmin signed with Chip Ganassi Racing
to partner Michael Andretti
who returned to the series after a season in Formula One. Andretti was more successful than Gugelmin, and took two wins, including Reynard's
first win in Champ Car at Surfers Paradise. Gugelmin was hindered by a lack of cooperation between his and Andretti's crews, and his first full-time year in the Champ Car World Series resulted in seven points finishes and 16th in the points standings.
1995 started promisingly as Gugelmin finished as runner-up to Jacques Villeneuve
in the opening round at Miami
. He had a strong race at the Indianapolis 500
, finishing in sixth place after leading the most laps of all the drivers. Eight additional points finishes, including a third place at the final round at Laguna Seca
, meant he finished tenth in the final points standings, nine places ahead of experienced team mate and former series champion Danny Sullivan
.
For 1996, Gugelmin was partnered at PacWest by the British
driver, Mark Blundell
. He established a reputation for being quick at superspeedway tracks after taking a second and a third place at the two events at Michigan International Speedway
. On top of this he took four other points finishes, finishing mid-table in 14th place. For 1997, the PacWest team switched to using Firestone
tyres and Mercedes-Benz
engines. The package was competitive throughout the year and Gugelmin and Blundell finished fourth and sixth in the championship respectively. Gugelmin's notable races of the year include the Detroit Indy Grand Prix
, where Gugelmin was leading the race on the last lap when he ran out of fuel, and the Molson Indy Vancouver
, where Gugelmin won his first Champ Car race. One of the most popular men in the championship, virtually the entire pit-lane was full of happiness for him. In qualifying for the final race of the season at the California Speedway
, Gugelmin set a world record
for the fastest ever lap of a closed race track at 240.942 mi/h. This record stood until the year 2000 when Gil de Ferran
surpassed it with a lap of 241.428 mi/h, also at California Speedway. Gugelmin went on to finish the race in fourth place.
1998 proved not to be as successful. Setbacks plagued the team and they struggled to get to grips with the new chassis. Gugelmin showed determination, and scored nine points-scoring finishes. A highlight was Gugelmin leading 40 laps during the final event at California Speedway
, en route to fifth place. Gugelmin was unable to reproduce his race-winning form, and finished no higher than 15th position in the final standings over the next three years. In 2000, Gugelmin was named as the chairman of the Championship Drivers Association, the organisation set up to represent the interests of the drivers in the Champ Car World Series.
2001 proved to be a difficult year for Gugelmin. During the practice session for the race at Texas Motor Speedway
, he crashed after he lost control in the second turn and hit the wall with a force of 66.2 g, before a second impact with the wall which exerted a force of 113.1 g. The event was eventually called off after drivers complained of dizziness, nausea and blurred vision, which were caused by the high g-forces experienced when driving at speed on the track. During the week before the race at Nazareth Speedway
, Gugelmin's son, Giuliano, died from respiratory complications. Giuliano was quadriplegic
and a lifelong sufferer from cerebral palsy
owing to complications at birth. The PacWest team announced that Gugelmin would not be taking part in the race. Gugelmin's team mate at PacWest, Scott Dixon
, won the race beating Kenny Bräck
into second place. At the end of 2001, Gugelmin decided to retire from the sport, stating "I definitely want to spend more time with my family. After those two big accidents, and Alex [Zanardi
]'s deal in Germany, I said, 'That's it. Forget it.' " Zanardi lost both legs in a crash during a Champ Car race at the Lausitzring in Germany in September 2001.
