He caught a bit too much curb in the backstretch chicanes, inducing oversteer, and clipped the barrier. Tracy's victory was the fifth in a row for Canadian drivers. Tracy won the final two races of 1994, and Jacques Villeneuve won the race before those two and the 1995 season opener. The next time five or more successive races were won by drivers of the same nationality would be in 1996.
