Tomas Scheckter passes SEVEN cars in one fell swoop entering turn 3 at Indy a few laps after a restart. This pass was actually setup a lap or two previous as the spotter at the time, Pancho Carter, told Tomas that traffic was starting to bunch up ahead of him and that he should get a nice opportunity to pick off quite a bit of them pretty quickly. Sure enough, he was right! One spotter in turn 3 claims this was pure idiocy, but I find this to be wonderful execution of planning, timing, and courage. Sadly, this was the only highlight of our day that year...

  • I think it was more a case of right place at the right time rather than pure skill - they all had to lift and a gap opened so he was able to just drive right by them..doesnt mean he's mario andretti or something.

  • You might it sound like it was one big coincidence...that moved was setup a half a lap before...

  • Actually, that was Jeff Simmons in the #21. Thanks for the comment!

  • Like playing Indycar on the PS2 lol

  • The move was a bit of luck (catching the slipstream just right), but, YES, it still required large attachments to pull it off.

    The latest rumour is that he may continue with D&R; hopefully he relpaces Milkmaid the Moving Chicane!

  • @wpsracing108 So it didn't take any skill that he didn't wipe out? hmm

  • Scheckter is ALWAYS fast at Indy....he is just tough on his equipment. He was flying at the '08 Indy 500 (in 3rd place late in the race), but had mechanical failure.

    Still always a threat to win...he just needs a damn ride!

  • You know this was the first Indy I ever saw live! And what a move that was!

  • at indy its the stupid ass moves that win the race

  • @dreadalex Tomas Scheckter is Jody Scheckter's son.

  • Very cool! I hope he's back full-time soon!

  • Very nice line through turn 3!

  • Tomas Scheckter FTW.
