  Tomáš Enge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tomáš Enge (born September 11, 1976 in Liberec) is a former Formula One driver from the Czech Republic.
Enge was brought in as a replacement for Luciano Burti after the latter's horror crash in the Belgian race, becoming his country's first Formula 1 driver.
In 2006 Enge shared driving duties for the 007 ProDrive Aston Martin in the French Le Mans series.

 rpm.espn.com: 'Shocked' Enge fails dope test
The paper, quoting Jaroslav Nekola, head of the antidoping committee, said Enge was found to have 10 times more than the acceptable limit of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, or cannabis) in his body.
FIA sources said Enge was believed to be the first driver to fail such a test in an international championship organised by the governing body.
Enge, who drove three times for the now defunct Prost Formula One team at the end of last season, provided a urine sample after the F3000 race at the Hungaroring on August 17 after being randomly selected.

Enge -- who competed in the final two races of the 2004 Indy Racing League season with Patrick Racing -- has been described as one of the most versatile drivers in motorsports, and his resume includes a three-race stint in Formula One during 2001.
Tomas admits the highlight of his career came in 2001 when he competed in three Formula One races, finishing 12th in the Italian Grand Prix, 14th in the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and 19th in the Japanese Grand Prix.
Tomas was named the 48th best driver in the world in AutoSport Magazine's December issue of the Top 50 Drivers in the World.

TOMAS ENGE lost his Formula 3000 title on Tuesday when the FIA stripped the Czech driver of the ten points he claimed at the Hungarian F3000 race.
Enge tested positive for cannabis at a random drug test following the race, and was called before the World Motor Sport Council in Paris, where the verdict that he was to lose the points from his victory was handed down.
The loss of the points means that Enge, who is the first driver to fail a drugs test in a major international championship, drops to third place in the 2002 F3000 Championship, while Sebastien Bourdais, will most probably become this year’s champion, although he will have to wait until Thursday to find out.
