'''John Norman Surtees''' (11 February 1934 – 10 March 2017) was a British [[racing driver]] and [[motorcycle road racing|motorcycle road racer]] who competed in [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing]] from {{MGP|1952}} to {{MGP|1960}}, and [[Formula One]] from {{F1|1960}} to {{F1|1972}}. Surtees was a seven-time [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing World Riders' Champions|Grand Prix motorcycle World Champion]], with four titles in the premier [[List of 500cc/MotoGP World Riders' Champions|500cc class]] with [[MV Agusta]]. Surtees won the [[Formula One World Drivers' Championship]] in {{F1|1964}} with [[Scuderia Ferrari|Ferrari]], and remains the only driver to win World Championships on both [[motorcycle racing|two-]] and [[auto racing|four-wheels]]; he won 38 [[List of Grand Prix motorcycle racing winners|motorcycle Grands Prix]] and six [[Formula One Grands Prix]].

On his way to become a seven-time Grand Prix motorcycle World Champion, he won his first title in 1956, and followed with three consecutive doubles between 1958 and 1960, winning six World Championships in both the 500 and 350cc classes. Surtees then made the move to the pinnacle of four-wheeled motorsport, the Formula One World Championship, and in 1964 made motor racing history by becoming the Formula One World Champion. He founded the [[Surtees Racing Organisation]] team that competed as a constructor in Formula One, [[Formula 2]] and [[Formula 5000]] from 1970 to 1978. He was also the ambassador of the [[Racing Steps Foundation]].

While still racing motorcycles full-time, Surtees performed a test drive in Aston Martin's [[Aston Martin DBR1|DBR1]] sports car in front of team manager Reg Parnell. He however continued on two wheels and did not enter car racing until the following year.

In [[1960 Formula One season|1960]], at the age of 26, Surtees switched from motorcycles to cars full-time, making his Formula 1 debut racing in the [[1960 BRDC International Trophy]]<ref>[https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/obituary-john-surtees-1934-2017-881549/ Adam Cooper, Obituary: John Surtees, 1934–2017, www.motorsport.com] Retrieved 12 March 2017</ref> at [[Silverstone Circuit|Silverstone]] for [[Team Lotus]].<ref>[http://www.formula2.net/F160_6.htm XII B.R.D.C.

After spending the [[1961 Formula One season|1961]] season with the Yeoman Credit Racing Team driving a Cooper T53 "Lowline" managed by Reg Parnell and the [[1962 Formula One season|1962]] season with the Bowmaker Racing Team, still managed by Reg Parnell but now in the V8 Lola Mk4, he moved to [[Scuderia Ferrari]] in 1963 and won the World Championship for the Italian team in [[1964 Formula One season|1964]].<ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame"/><ref name="John Surtees Formula One statistics">{{cite web |url=http://www.4mula1.ro/history/driver/John_Surtees |title=John Surtees Formula One statistics |publisher=4mula1.ro |access-date=7 October 2011 }}</ref>

On 25 September 1965, Surtees had a life-threatening accident at the [[Mosport Park]] Circuit (Ontario, Canada) while practising in a [[Lola T70]] sports racing car.<ref name="Formula 1 Hall of Fame"/> A front upright casting had broken. A.J.

Due to perennial strikes in Italy, Ferrari could afford to enter only two cars (Ferrari P3s) for the [[1966 24 Hours of Le Mans]] instead of its usual entry of three prototypes. Uncertainty and confusion surrounds subsequent events and their consequences, and a number of different explanations have been offered in the decades since. The narrative explained by Ferrari at the time states that under Le Mans rules in 1966 each car was allowed only two drivers.<ref name="John Surtees: Former F1 world champion was a towering figure"/> Surtees was omitted from the driver line-up<ref name="John Surtees: Former F1 world champion was a towering figure"/> with one works Ferrari to be driven by Mike Parkes and Ludovico Scarfiotti, and the other by Jean Guichet and Lorenzo Bandini. When Surtees questioned Ferrari team manager [[Eugenio Dragoni]] as to why, as the Ferrari team leader, he would not be allowed to compete, Dragoni told Surtees that he did not feel that he was fully fit to drive in a 24-hour endurance race because of the injuries he had sustained in late 1965.<ref name="John Surtees: Former F1 world champion was a towering figure"/> However, Surtees himself described things somewhat differently. In his recollection, when the pairings were announced he was to drive alongside Scarfiotti. As the faster driver of the two, Surtees argued that he should take the first stint and "try to break" the Ford opposition by driving "flat out from the start".<ref name=lunch >{{Cite magazine|title= Lunch with...

Surtees finished fourth in the 1967 Drivers' Championship.<ref name="John Surtees Formula One statistics"/>

The same year, Surtees drove in the ''Rex Mays 300'' at [[Riverside International Raceway|Riverside]], near Los Angeles, in a [[United States Auto Club]] season-ending road race. This event pitted the best American drivers of the day – normally those who had cut their teeth as professional drivers on oval dirt tracks – against veteran Formula One Grand Prix drivers, including [[Jim Clark]] and [[Dan Gurney]].<ref name="Auto Driver">{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Klc7AAAAMAAJ |title=Auto Driver |publisher=Counterpoint |year=1967 |volume=67 |page=123}}</ref>
