Scheckter gets a new chance from Cheever

TOMAS SCHECKTER, the former Jaguar F1 test driver who lost his job because of allegations of curb-crawling last year, hopes to revive a promising racing career in the Indy Racing League and has been signed up by Red Bull Team Cheever to be Eddie Cheever's team mate in 2002.

"Tomas did very well in testing," said Cheever. He is still an unknown but we know that he is single-minded and determined to do everything necessary to be successful."
