Page "Tomas Scheckter" Paragraph 3

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.
