From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia
Tomáš Enge (born September 11, 1976 in Liberec) was a Formula One driver from the Czech Republic. He participated in the final 3 Grands Prix of 2001, debuting on September 16, 2001 at the Italian Grand Prix, as a replacement for Luciano Burti after the latter's horror crash in the Belgian race, becoming his country's first Formula 1 driver. The Prost team folded before 2002, leaving Enge with little hope of a drive.
He obtained the drive using the sponsorship from the local Coca-Cola branch, which had also funded the Nordic F3000 team he raced for that year. He finished 3rd in the 2001 standings despite missing the final race, and was stripped of the 2002 title due to a positive marijuana test - as his Arden team's main sponsor produced vodka this can be regarded as ironic. He re-emerged in 2005, driving for Panther Racing in the IRL, with modest success so far.
