Jorge Andrés Goncalvez, formerly spelled Goncalves, (born June 14, 1991) is a professional racing driver from Los Teques, Venezuela.
Initial stages
Goncalvez transitioned from karting to car racing by entering the Formula Renault Campus France series in 2007, where he secured the 14th position. The following year, he participated in the Formula BMW USA championship with Apex-HBR Racing Team, achieving 7th place overall. In 2009, he progressed to the Star Mazda Championship driving for AIM Autosport, concluding the season in 9th place. After claiming victory in the 2009–2010 Formula Car Challenge Winter Series representing Team Apex, he competed full-time in the 2010 season, finishing fourth overall with five second-place finishes but no wins or pole positions.
Indy Lights
In 2011, Goncalvez joined Belardi Auto Racing to compete in the Firestone Indy Lights series under IndyCar. Throughout that season, he earned four podium finishes—all occurring on oval tracks—including a second-place finish at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, ultimately ranking fifth in the championship standings. His top road course performance was a fourth-place finish at Barber Motorsports Park. He continued with Belardi for the 2012 season; however, his results declined as he failed to reach the podium and ended last among drivers completing the full schedule. Goncalvez returned to Belardi for a third consecutive season in 2013.
