Like a number of young South Americans of his generation, Moreno realized that if he were to make a go of his racing career, he needed to go to England and immerse himself in the culture there. With only his talent and the will to succeed, he still contested 75 Grands Prix\u2014most with lower-echelon teams\u2014but scored a fine 2nd-place finish on his debut for Benetton in Japan in 1990, then quickly lost that ride to an emergent Michael Schumacher. Elsewhere, he won the Australian Grand Prix (for Formula Atlantic\/Pacific) three times, drove IMSA\u2008for Dan Gurney, chased Michael Andretti to the 1983 U.S. Atlantic title, won the 1988 Formula 3000 championship, raced at Indianapolis then won Indycar races at Cleveland and Vancouver, and was a development driver for Ferrari.
