"Schmidt is a former race winning Indycar driver and team owner of the Schmidt Petersen Racing team which competes in the Verizon IndyCar Series. Paralyzed from the neck down after a racing incident, Schmidt competes with a specially-outfitted Motion Pro II that utilizes the SAM 2.0 control systems developed by Arrow Electronics. The control systems include a steering system activated by camera sensors and a sip-and-puff breath system that provide graduated controls of the throttle and brakes.
Schmidt competed in the 2015 iRacing Pro Race of Champions, finishing 16th after being caught up in a first corner incident."
