Tony Brooks Ferrari

Tony Brooks Obituary

Tony Brooks passed away on May 3, 2022 at the age of 90. Our condolences to his family and many friends who knew him as a generous, loving family man and true gentleman, as well as a great race driver and successful businessman.

Tony Brooks, born Charles Anthony Standish Brooks in 1932, was a natural driver. He never went to driver’s school, never had a mentor. He was self-taught, self-motivated, extremely intelligent and knew what he wanted to do after the first time behind the wheel of his mother’s MGTC.
