Tony is a fierce and focused competitor who has an impressive list of achievements in various sporting disciplines. He went from landlubber to One Design Australian Sailing Champion in 4 years and in 3 years from rookie to winning a number of club Karting Championships in a TAG 125.
Tony's ambition has always been to always race GT cars and after completing his apprenticeship in two seasons of the highly competitive Porsche Carrera Cup in 2013 and 2014 he stepped-up to his mighty McLaren 650S for the 2015 Australian GT championship.
In the 2018 Bathurst 12 hour, Wallsy and team mates Luffy, Slade and Evans were on for an outright podium finish until a failed starter motor kicked them out of the race with 30 mins remaining. Business commitments meant that Wallsy only got to do two other races for the year.
