Profile
Tony Gaze was the first Australian to compete in a grand prix in 1952 but only managed to finish one race in his career, his debut at Spa Francorchamps. He was a highly decorated Spitfire pilot in World War II and escaped occupied France after being shot down. Considered to be one of Australia's greatest aces he notched up 12.5 aerial victories and, among other accomplishments, he was the first Allied pilot to land in France after D-Day and the first Australian pilot to shoot down a jet. He helped to establish the Goodwood race circuit in 1948 and after retiring from racing he worked on initiatives to develop Australian motorsport.
