| A Californian of
Italian descent, Tony raced Corvettes and a Mercedes
300SL in the States before coming to Europe, where,
initially driving a WRE-Maserati sports car, he took a
win in the Naples GP at Posillipo.
Settember
commissioned Emeryson to build a chassis for the 1962
Formula One season, but the no success was achieved.
IHe and Hugh Powell then formed the Scirocco-Powell
team for 1963, using BRM power. The car was attractive
but never worked well, the best finish being a second
place in the non-championship Austrian GP.
When they finally
called a halt to to the Formula One effort, Settember
continued his racing activities in the USRRC with both
a Lotus 23 and 30, and then an AC Cobra, before trying
his hand at Can-Am in the late sixties with a Lola
T70. He also competed in the early seventies in the
F5000 series between 1972 and 1974 with a Lola T330. |
