When it comes to overtaking, the name Paul Tracy should never be overlooked. Like him or hate him, it's undeniable of his amazing or downright audacious talent in overtaking throughout almost all the races he ever participated.
However, it's a little hard to find such videos of PT existing,instead there are quite a few controversies and crashes. Albeit it's true he did cause havoc quite so many times, I just felt it didn't do the full justice to this amazing career. Therefore I made this video tribute, hoping to capture some of his finest moments.
And since he did so many fantastic overtakings, it is impossible to compile his "best" overtakes in just one video, I'll make them in parts, this video contains his overtakes on ovals during the CCWS era.
P.S.
I hope to archive some of the best on track moments of other drivers and series in the future in this channel, purely good racing stuff.

This guy was GOD to me. The things he did in Indy car kept Canadians glued to the screen. Excitement factor... change your underwear often.

Pop Cathol I gave up on indy car October 31, 1999. I wish I kept watching Paul Tracy. #redgloves

@@ianfisher851 That day crushed me… Absolutely gutted me.. I was a MASSIVE CART fan until that fateful day. I loved seeing the Canucks on the top step. Greg Moore was 1/4 of the Canadian contingent during that era and I was so hurt by his passing, I stopped watching that season as well.

Love him or hate him, Paul’s racing actions were exciting! If only there was an IndyCar Hall of Fame tho

The funniest quote about Paul Tracy was when Alex Tagliani said of Tracy after an altercation, "I said he should wear a straight jacket because that's the only thing that could keep him under control." I heard that and just about lost it.

My favorite drivers in the 90s growing up were Jeff Gordon and Paul Tracy. Tracy was so wild out there, either win it or bin it. So much fun.

I loved watching PT race. I became a fan of his after he got the full time ride at Team Penske when my favorite Rick Mears retired.

@charliesmith5545 3 года назад

If Paul Tracy wasn't a loose cannon he would have won 3-4 titles. He was fast, agressve, determined. Nobody gave more than him but he couldn't harnesses it like he needed to win championships. But who cares, he was amazing and won tons of races.

@mattgonzalez4457 5 лет назад

Got to meet Paul. I won (only thing I've ever won 🤣) a raffle at my barber shop at the time "Sport Clips" who was sponsoring him for the nascar Busch series in 2004 at Daytona. I sat in the pits with the team and their spouses. What an experience.....unfortunately he didn't do very well in the race due to no fault of his own. Great memories

@largol33t1 Год назад

His bad luck was quite well known to me. I sometimes would sit there, wondering how everything could go so well and BAM! Bad luck just throws a grenade at him. I've lost count of how many races he COULD have won. He's definitely a much better driver than Jacques Villeneuve.

@temp55 3 года назад

90s IndyCar was the best. Paul tracy was the most exciting driver every race. So many dnfs but awesome.

@bradfisher5695 Год назад

“I’ll see you up front mid-race Legend”. Greg Moore last words to Paul ❤️

@davegto67 5 лет назад

Paul Tracy won 31 CART/IndyCar races. Paul Tracy crashed 64 times. Find me another driver with that kind of win/crash ratio.

@charliesmith5545 3 года назад

All or nothing driver that's for sure. Imagine his record if he could have calmed down a bit more and made some better choices. The man was raw untamed talent.

As a long time fan, I chuckled at how poor Paul had so many crashes that at one time, he was nicknamed Capt. Crunch. Sometimes, his luck was just AWFUL. You would sit there, wondering if the gods were just out to get him, LOL... Still, he is one of my favorite drivers and Canada should be proud of him. I rate him even higher than Jacques Villeneuve.

Paul was robbed of victory at Indy. just sayin' '

@therrydicule 5 лет назад

I'm not sure. The rule book was badly written. Here's the thing, there's often a gap between when the yellow SHOULD be displayed and when it ACTUALLY is. The book was saying that they were enforcing from when it actually displayed, which I don't know when it was. I tried to you look at replays, and it should be displayed before he finished the overtaking. Anyway, that's an argument about 0.0371 seconds. I think the indy 500 should have come clean that it was that close.

@largol33t1 Год назад

I saw that race and when they robbed him, that was it. I quit watching the Indy race ever since. Such a political farce and Tony George deserves the blame since he never hesitates to instigate bad blood between the two organizations.

@theflyingrealestateagent2828 Год назад

I completely agree…. Robbed. In the interest of the IRL.

@LessGo7921 6 лет назад

He and Tomas Scheckter were always the best overtakers.

How the hell did they not crash at 2:42 All three of them hit each other, that could have been a major crash

@largol33t1 Год назад

I've seen old footage of Nigel Mansell during his first year at Williams and Nelson Piquet couldn't stand him because he upstaged him so many times. The rivalry between them was legendary. They fought each other on the track so much that it was NORMAL to see them banging wheels on purpose. I can't believe the FIA let the fighting go on that long. I guess they thought it was good for ratings but there is such thing as too much drama on the track.

@ndrettitoo 8 лет назад

I would like to see all of his 'mistakes', but there are so many. I guess that would take too long.

Paul Tracy's best years were at Penske.

@largol33t1 Год назад

Well, I slightly disagree. He improved GREATLY when he was signed at Team Green and his overtaking moves were impossible to not notice.

@fgm1197 Год назад

he was by far the fastest but unfortunately made too many mistakes in his young wild years.

@daviddavid1972 7 лет назад

I'm surprised you came up with 5 minutes of Paul Tracy video and he didn't crash into anybody!

@mikeharris3016 7 лет назад

You sound pretty upset, Paul Tracy is one of the greatest North American race car drivers of all time. Did he crash a lot? Of course, but that's because he was willing to do whatever it takes to win. A lot of drivers current and past have great respect and admiration for him. Open wheel racing needs more drivers like him. You could argue that if he stuck with Penske he would be considered the greatest, he probably would've won multiple Indy 500's and multiple championships. Penske to this day says that Paul Tracy was one of the greatest drivers he's ever had race for him, and it wasn't that long of a stint.
