Gomez Wins Season 5 Championship

MRC GPC79

Winning Pole Position five times, and winning five MRC GPC79 Grand Prix including Jacarapagua, Oulton Park, Autodrom Most, Essington Park, and Suzuka, Gomez made the best of a very consistent season. Driving for team Brabham he made very few mistakes and finished well in the points at all events aside from 3 races.

Gomez held a very confident control over his car this season, and was really never under any serious threat that he could not out last for a race. His closest competition throughout the season would be Mario Ledesma, Augusto Demarchi, Cesare Ascari and Dave Cooke Jr. Cooke would not last the season however, and Demarchi and Ascari had problems with endurance. Ledesma was a serious threat however, but failed to get a good start to the Championship, how he might've threatened the overall lead will never be known. To sum it up cleanly, Gomez simply out drove the competition.

Hats off to the season 5 Champ !
