EVRO Publishing is to publish a photographic memoir by John Surtees: John Surtees: My Incredible Life on Two and Four Wheels.
Surtees won seven World Championships on Italian MV Agusta motorcycles. He was 500cc World Champion in 1956 and followed that with an incredible run of six titles – three each in the 350cc and 500cc categories – in the three years from 1958 to 1960. This year marks the 50th anniversary of Surtees becoming Formula 1 world champion in 1964. Driving for Ferrari, Surtees had outstanding wins in the German and Italian Grands Prix, as well as second places in three other races. Royalties from the book, to be published on 19 June, will go to the Henry Surtees Foundation, which was set up to honour the memory of John’s son Henry, who was killed in a freak accident at Brands Hatch in 2009.
