Talented, fast, but sometimes ruthless driver, who finally won the CART title after years of coming close, in 2003. Caught out somewhat by the end of the series, Tracy since had a number of CCWS/IRL one offs and a spell in the Craftmen series. His single-seater career is now over, and more recently has been in endurance events. Hasn't retired from driving yet (which was proven by a surprise appearance at the Bathurst 24 Hours in 2019 and appearances in the Superstar Racing Series in 2021), but from 2014 onwards, he is now predominantly working as a TV analyst, where his honesty and fortrightness has made him popular. He also runs a motorcycle parts company.
