The Shrew should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Tony Sugden - Skoda

Ive not been able to get to watch much racing over the last few years was interested to no what happened to Tony Sugdon and his mighty Skoda ?

Cant seem to find any results from him i take it he doesnt race any longer or has a different car or something.

Can anyone shed some light on the subject ?

As big andy has said, Tony has retired - about three years ago.

You may find results from before then, but it's Sugden, not Sugdon!

Although he's officiall retired, I think you'll find he's still driving the Safety / Course / Rapid Response Car for certain championships, or he was just after retiring from racing...

I didnt realise he was that old to be honest. He certainly could peddle that car around. If i had a pound for every time ive seen him race i think i would of bought the car off him with the cash lol.

Not only a great car and driver combo that i loved but the engineering that must go into building a car like that is great.
