Tony Foale B.Tech, M.Eng.Sc, C.Dip.A.F.
Educated in Australia, Tony graduated with a degree in electrical engineering, followed by a M.Eng.Sc. in nuclear engineering. He worked at a research establishment, creating mathematical models and subsequent computer programmes for performance analysis of various mechanical and aerodynamic systems. Some of this period was spent as leader of a team developing mathematical techniques for the prediction of human response in situations not unlike those applicable to motorcycle and car driving tasks.
This was then followed by a period as a project engineer with a car manufacturer. From there he moved to a nuclear research lab. Providing mechanical and electronic design services for research departments. At the same establishment he later moved into a research team as group leader developing original finite element solutions for failure prediction in some unusual machinery.
Moving back to England in 1971 (driven by his passion for racing motorcycles). He followed a short spell as factory manager with a F1 car racing team, with 18 months at Lloyd
