PROFILEDr Tony Richards:Anaesthesiain the fast laneDr Tony Richards is a 47-year-old paediatricanaesthetist from Christchurch. He is NewZealand born, bred and trained, apart fromstints in London and Melbourne. “I’ve spentmost of my medical years, since my clinicalyears as a medical student, at ChristchurchHospital culminating in being head ofpaediatric anaesthesia. I’ve been privilegedto have a career in paediatric anaesthesiaand have always enjoyed and been humbledby the challenge of working with childrenand helping them through their time ofneed,” he said.Dr Richards said that anaesthesia is awonderful career with many opportunitiesand he intends to explore a few more in theremainder of his career, including takingsome more time off with his wife and family.“Eventually we would like to take ourcareers overseas, splitting time betweentravel, work and charity work. As keenskiers we’d expect to be fitting a wholelot of that in as well!” he said.Ever since Dr Richards can remember hehas wanted to be involved in motor racing:“I think back to my father taking me to racemeetings at Levin and Manfield in the ’70sand watching the cars that I was actuallylater to race against, and loving the wholespectacle. I’d always wanted to give it a go,but never did, or not until a recent majorlife crisis led me to revaluate, get off mybackside and ‘tick a few boxes’.”F5000 was introduced as a V8 stockblockclass in the late ’60s as an alternativeto F1 and quickly swept the world. InNew Zealand and Australia it became“The Tasman Series” and was contestedby some of the world’s best-known drivers.Dr Richards said: “I’m a committee memberof the NZ F5000 Association and in the lastfew years we have been at the forefront ofthe re emergence of this historic class frommy childhood. With a nucleus of more than30 cars plus overseas support we regularlyput together competitive internationalgrids of 25-plus cars around Australasia inThe Tasman Revival Series.”He said the experience of racing the320kmph cars is difficult to describe: “Witharound 550bhp and no driver aids, these oldbeasts are raw but very rewarding to drive.The consummate race car. They are loudand brash and assault all of your senses.The crowds love them. It’s simply the bestthing I’ve ever done. The series is attractinga lot of attention and this finally led to aninvitation to be a support race class at theF1GP in Melbourne, 2009. It was an honourto take these cars back to the AustralianGP which they last raced at 30 years ago. Imanaged to finish second in our series, beatCraig Lowndes’ new V8 Supercar lap recordat Albert Park, to break our lap record, andspray French champagne from the top of theF1 podium in what, for me, was a great day.A boyhood dream come true.”Clockwise from top left: Dr TonyRichards getting ready to race; DrRichards gets the chequered flag;Dr Richards, second from the right,celebrates on the podium.42The ANZCA Bulletin June 2009
