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 ? |

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

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. |
