Editing Roberto Moreno (section)

===In between years===

Moreno went back to North America with Siddle. A sponsor had been found for a whole season of Formula Atlantic, but the support race at [[1983 United States Grand Prix West|Long Beach GP]] was changed to a Super Vee, then he lost his sponsor. Despite the set-back, his new team, Theodore Racing went off and won the first race at [[Willow Springs International Motorsports Park|Willow Springs]]. With the prize money, he did two more races, before the team stopped racing. Luckily for Moreno, the team owner, Teddy Yip help finance a move to another team.  He won four races, while championship rival, [[Michael Andretti]] won three. Moreno missed out on the title as every time he won, Andretti would finish second.{{cn|date=January 2025}}

For 1984, Roberto decided to return to Europe to race F3. Whilst pre-season testing with [[West Surrey Racing]], he got an invitation from Tauranac to join the works [[Ralt]] [[Formula Two]] team. Moreno finished runner-up to [[Mike Thackwell]], the pair dominated the final [[1984 European Formula Two season|European Formula Two Championship]], in their Ralt-Hondas. He tasted victory at the [[Hockenheimring|Hockenheim]] and [[Donington Park]] races. Tauranac wanted Moreno to stay for the inaugural [[International Formula 3000]] season (1985), but Moreno had been testing the [[Toleman]] at the end of 1984, with Senna's car. He look set to get a drive with the team, only to be told that they did not have any tyres, and the deal fell through. A move to Indycars was next for Roberto with [[Rick Galles]]'s [[Galles Racing]], as he had seen Moreno impress frequently. The deal was for Roberto to drive in the road race. He was invited to do a full campaign in 1986, however they had problems with the car and did not have any good results. When he was unable to find a full-time Indycar drive, he decided to try to get into F3000 driving with Ralt. During that season, he won [[Mediterranean Grand Prix|Gran Premio del Mediterraneo]], together with some consistent finishing saw him finished 3rd overall, before receiving the call to join up with AGS.<ref name="8w.forix.com"/><ref name="second-a-lap.blogspot.co.uk"/>

Moreno almost joined the [[Brabham]] Formula One team in {{f1|1984}}. On the suggestion of his friend, Brabham lead driver and defending World Champion Nelson Piquet, Brabham team owner [[Bernie Ecclestone]] almost signed the young Brazilian to drive the team's #2 [[Brabham BT53|car]]. However, this opportunity for Moreno came to nothing when Brabham's Italian based sponsor [[Parmalat]] insisted on having an Italian driver as Piquet's teammate. This led to the unique situation where Ecclestone signed brothers [[Teo Fabi|Teo]] and [[Corrado Fabi]] to share the drive in the car. Teo was the main driver, but as he was already contracted to race in the [[United States]] based [[Champ Car|CART/PPG World Series]] for [[Forsythe Racing]], Corrado, who had driven for [[Osella]] in {{f1|1983}}, substituted for him in 3 races where the respective F1 and CART schedules clashed.

His performance at AGS did not get him a seat in F1. He went to Bromley Motorsport in F3000. The team, owned by Ron Salt, had [[Gary Anderson (motorsport)|Gary Anderson]] as its Technical Director, with whom Roberto had worked with at Galles. With help from [[Reynard Motorsport]], they began the season with virtually no money. Revenge was sweet, when Moreno took a sponsorless [[Reynard Motorsport|Reynard-Cosworth 88D]] to the title by winning three early-season races, at [[Pau Grand Prix|Pau]], [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] and [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza|Monza]] in a row. A fourth win came in the [[Birmingham Superprix]].<ref name="8w.forix.com"/>

Also in 1988, he made an appearance at [[Snetterton Circuit|Snetterton]] in the Celebrity Car in the inaugural Honda CR-X Challenge.<ref>https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xugK75GfJXU</ref><ref>https://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/august-1988/24/image-enhancer/</ref>
