John Surtees was a man of huge significance in the world of Motorsport; the only competitor to have won world championships at the highest level of two- and four wheeled competition.

Making his name as the star rider for MV Agusta in the late 'fifties he made the brave decision to switch to Formula One car racing and went on to claim a world title with another famous Italian marque, Ferrari.

This beautifully printed co-production with Mike Nicks reviews all of John's immensely varied and successful career, from the very earliest days to having to cope with the sad death of his son Henry at Brands Hatch in 2009.

Proceeds from the sale of the book are donated to the Henry Surtees Foundation, set up to help young drivers recover from accidents, with a particular emphasis on the care of those suffering head injuries.
