'''Tomas Scheckter''' (born 21 September 1980) is a South African former racing driver best known for his time in the [[IndyCar Series]].

==Early years==
Scheckter was born in [[Monte Carlo]] to [[1979 Formula One season|1979]] [[Formula One]] World Champion [[Jody Scheckter]] and his first wife Pamela. Scheckter started racing [[karting|karts]] in South Africa at the age of 11 and it did not take long for the young driver to reach the podium. He had his first taste of a major championship as a teenager when he captured the South African Kart Championship in 1995. In 1996 he ventured on to the main circuit in the South African [[Formula Vee]] series and soon after he was in the South African [[Formula Ford]] Series where he posted two wins.

He had proven his speed in South African motorsports and was then off to Europe the following year where he entered the British [[Formula Vauxhall]] Junior series where he raced against the likes of [[Antônio Pizzonia]] and [[Takuma Sato]]. Scheckter earned third in the championship with one victory and one pole. He was also named series Rookie of the Year.

In 1999, Scheckter won the [[Formula Opel]] Euroseries championship with a record eight victories and eight poles, and in the process broke all the winning records previously set by [[Mika Häkkinen]], [[Rubens Barrichello]], and [[David Coulthard]]. That success landed him a drive that same year in the last two races of the [[Formula Nissan]] championship which [[Fernando Alonso]] had dominated that whole season. Even though Scheckter was with a new team for this brief stint in Formula Nissan, he captured a win, two poles and a second-place position.

Scheckter moved on to the Formula 3 Series in 2000, and in his rookie year, he was the runner-up in the [[British Formula 3]] Championship with two victories and two pole positions, while contending again with drivers such as Takuma Sato, Antônio Pizzonia and [[Narain Karthikeyan]]. He also had time to race in the prestigious Marlboro Masters F3 race at [[Circuit Zandvoort|Zandvoort]] where he took the third podium position. To complete his year, he competed in the final four races of the FIA [[International Formula 3000|Formula 3000]] Championship, finishing second at [[Hockenheimring|Hockenheim]] behind future IRL teammate [[Tomáš Enge]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Tomas Scheckter – Biography |publisher=TomasScheckter.com |url=http://www.tomasscheckter.com/bio.html |access-date=13 August 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070730061742/http://www.tomasscheckter.com/bio.html |archive-date=30 July 2007 }}</ref> He also raced in the [[World Series by Renault|Open Telefónica by Nissan]], finishing as championship runner-up.

Scheckter was signed as a test/reserve driver by [[Jaguar Racing|Jaguar]] for the [[2001 Formula One season]], but was soon let go after being found "[[Kerb crawler|kerb crawling]]."<ref>[http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns04131.html Tomas Scheckter fired as Jaguar test-driver], GrandPrix.com, 5 May 2001</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.independent.ie/sport/reality-of-mobile-bodyguard-hits-barrichello-508424.html |title=Reality of 'mobile bodyguard' hits Barrichello |newspaper=[[Irish Independent]] |first=David |last=Kennedy |date=20 May 2001 |access-date=10 January 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/scheckters-woes-may-help-courtneys-career-20100824-13m6j.html |title=Scheckter's woes may help Courtney's career |newspaper=[[The Age]] |agency=[[Associated Press]] |date=7 May 2001 |access-date=10 January 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706103737/http://theage.drive.com.au/motor-news/scheckters-woes-may-help-courtneys-career-20100824-13m6j.html |archive-date=6 July 2011}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/3005088/Sports-Round-up.html |title=Sports Round-up |newspaper=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |date=9 May 2001 |access-date=10 January 2011}}</ref>

==IndyCar Series==

'''2002'''

Scheckter was signed to drive for [[Eddie Cheever]]'s [[Red Bull]] [[Cheever Racing]] in the [[IndyCar Series]] for the [[2002 in IRL|2002 season]]. He was the [[Indianapolis 500]] co-Rookie of the year (with 4th placed [[Alex Barron (racing driver)|Alex Barron]]) after leading 85 laps of the race.  However, Cheever soon grew tired of Scheckter's frequent crashes, and looked to replace him with [[Buddy Rice]].  At [[Michigan International Speedway]], Cheever was forced to race Scheckter due to contractual obligations, but gave Rice the best equipment and crew. In the [[2002 Michigan Indy 400]], Scheckter won by 1.7 seconds over Rice for his first IRL win, while team owner Cheever crashed out. However, he was soon gone from Cheever Racing.

'''2003-Mid 2005'''

In 2003, he moved to [[Target Corporation|Target]] [[Ganassi Racing]] with mixed results, often being criticized for his inconsistency and frequency of crashing, finishing well behind title winning teammate [[Scott Dixon]]. In 2004 he moved to [[Panther Racing]] to replace double champion [[Sam Hornish Jr.]] In 2004 and 2005, Scheckter and Panther were the dominant [[Chevrolet]] powered team, greatly outpacing other teams powered by what many considered the weakest engine in the series.  Scheckter broke through a horrendous string of bad luck, defeating Hornish to win the [[Bombardier Learjet 500]] at [[Texas Motor Speedway]] in June 2005 for his second career victory.

'''Mid 2005-07'''

In mid-2005, Scheckter was announced as one of the drivers for [[A1 Team South Africa]] in the inaugural [[A1 Grand Prix]] series. He raced in the rounds at [[EuroSpeedway Lausitz]] and [[Autódromo do Estoril|Estoril]]. In [[2006 in IRL|2006]], Scheckter drove for [[Tony George]] and [[Patrick Dempsey]]'s [[Vision Racing]] alongside teammate [[Ed Carpenter (racecar driver)|Ed Carpenter]] and finished 10th in points. In [[2007 in IRL|2007]], Scheckter again raced for Vision Racing sponsored by [[Joost]]. The South African was one of the few drivers that year to challenge the [[Team Penske]], [[Andretti Green Racing]] and [[Chip Ganassi Racing|Target Chip Ganassi Racing]] drivers on a regular basis during races, on occasion leading races. He ultimately finished 10th in points for the second season in a row with a best finish of fifth.

'''2008-09'''
[[File:TScheckterIndy.jpg|thumb|Scheckter practicing for the [[2009 Indianapolis 500]]]]

For the [[2008 in IRL|2008]] season, Scheckter was scheduled to race for [[Luczo Dragon Racing]] in three races: Kansas, Indianapolis, and Infineon. Despite not finishing at Kansas or Indy, Scheckter's runs gave the team additional race time at Texas, Detroit, and Chicagoland. Scheckter failed to return any good results in the additional races despite qualifying well. He did not return to the team in 2009, as it became a full-time team with 2008 Indy Lights champion [[Raphael Matos]].  Scheckter was reported to be joining [[Beck Motorsports]], now renamed Team 3G, starting at the 2009 Long Beach race, but the deal never materialized. Scheckter personally secured sponsorship from [[MonaVie]] which he shopped to a number of teams, ultimately signing with [[Dale Coyne Racing]] for a second week program. He qualified 26th and finished 12th. Later in the 2009 season he returned with the MonaVie sponsorship with [[Dreyer & Reinbold Racing]] sharing the #23 car with [[Milka Duno]], who brought her own sponsorship, as well as driving a third car, the #43, in select races.

'''2010'''

In 2010, Scheckter once again brought Mona-Vie to Dreyer & Reinbold Racing to drive the #23 car in the Indianapolis 500. Scheckter had a great race, and was in the top for the majority of the race. In the last 20 laps a fuel mileage problem forced Scheckter to conserve fuel and he dropped back to finish 12th. Scheckter's teammate Mike Conway suffered a leg injury in a terrible crash at the Indianapolis 500 and Scheckter was hired to fill in for Conway at Texas and Iowa finished 15th and 19th at each. Later in the year he was hired to drive for Conquest Racing at Chicago and Kentucky. Scheckter finished 28th at Chicago, but after having a surprisingly quick time in practice and qualifying he was accidentally hit from behind by Alex Lloyd in the first 10 laps and made contact with the wall that ended his day. At Kentucky Scheckter struggled getting the car up to speed and finished 14th.

'''2011'''
[[File:Indianapolis 500 - Race Day (5815712037).jpg|thumb|Scheckter competing in the [[2011 Indianapolis 500]]]]

For 2011, Scheckter joined KV-SH Racing and drive the #07 Team Redline Extreme car in the Indianapolis 500. At [[2011 MoveThatBlock.com Indy 225|Loudon]], Scheckter would replace the injured [[Justin Wilson (racing driver)|Justin Wilson]], driving the number 22 car for [[Dreyer & Reinbold Racing]]. Schekter would also drive the number 07 car in [[2011 Baltimore Grand Prix (IndyCar)|Baltimore.]] For the season's final race in Las Vegas, Scheckter drove the #57 car for Sarah Fisher Racing with Angie's List as the primary sponsor, but the race was red flagged due to a multicar pile up early in the race in which [[Dan Wheldon]] was killed.

==Personal life==
He is the son of {{F1|1979}} [[Formula One]] World Champion [[Jody Scheckter]] and the nephew of racer [[Ian Scheckter]]. He also has an older brother named [[Toby Scheckter|Toby]], and a younger brother Hugo, who often updates Tomas's fans through his Twitter page.<ref>{{cite news| title =Hugo Scheckter| publisher =twitter.com| url =https://twitter.com/hugoscheckter| access-date =19 May 2010}}</ref>

In April 2020, Scheckter announced that he had suffered multiple [[strokes]] and required a heart operation at the [[Mayo Clinic]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/tomasscheckter/status/1252210876855259136|title=Tomas Scheckter on Twitter|first=Tomas|last=Scheckter|date=20 April 2020|website=www.twitter.com}}</ref> Scheckter currently resides in the [[United Kingdom]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://twitter.com/tomasscheckter/status/1252361811602497537|title=Tomas Scheckter on Twitter|first=Tomas|last=Scheckter|date=20 April 2020|website=www.twitter.com}}</ref>
