    There are many champions who have achieved the ultimate honour of lifting a world crown in their chosen motorsport.
    But there is only one man who has achieved this feat on both two and four wheels . His name is John Surtees and this is his amazing story.
    In this comprehensive programme we look back at all his world titles, listen in on fascinating, highly nostalgic interviews and relive the track action that made Surtees such an extraordinary champion.
    Superb footage and atmosphere make this a must for fans of British racing.

    I think people forget John won the Isle of man three times as well as the motorcycle grand prix in those years also, even today riders say the Isle of man is too dangerous especially with the specification of todays technology, its scary with no room for error.I always felt John never got the praise he earned , not deserved. Stirling moss, Jackie Stewart, Graham hill, Nigel Mansell etc etc all great racers but John in my opinion was the best. I know if I met him I could listen to him for days with the stories of his motivation etc etc, and id quite happily listen. A legend John, any petrolhead knows what you achieved probably won't ever be repeated with the speeds and standards being so high in each sport, as it also was in your era.even more credit to you for what you achieved. Why you were never Sir John defies my logic, but you were the best for so many people.RIP

    I absolutely love listening to these men talk. They may have been perfectionists and sometimes difficult to work with but I think it goes with such focused competitors. I once worked for one of Graham Hill's BRM mechanics who told me wonderful stories. When I met Stan Diben I was so in awe that I was almost speechless lol.
