He raced with the Series for a total of 17 seasons, with a bit of a layoff, until he bought the ex-Derek Prior MGB. Many will remember his horrific crash at Taupo which destroyed the car and put Tony in hospital for about 3 months.

In recent times, I believe he was considering doing some trackwork again.

Once again, a lovely bloke who will be sadly missed, as he has been attending most ERC races in recent times, catching up with the many people who considered him a dear friend.

Sadly, I won't be able to attend the funeral, which will be on Saturday May 27th, midday at Meadowbank.

At this rate, there will be a fair grid of ex-racers upstairs.

RiP Tony, I was privileged to know you.
Knew who he was but didn't know him that well Ray but very sad............RIP Tony Sturm another racer lost......we seem to be loosing a generation of racers these days which is sad. Dale M
