Surtees: The Official Website

A tribute from John Surtees
Henry had followed his heart from the time he first sat in a kart. He treated seriously the balance between motorsport and school having just finished his A' levels. The world beckoned.

Thank you for your support

Jane, Edwina, Leonora and myself are obviously devastated by the tragic accident that has happened to Henry.

However, we would like to send out a sincere thank you for the support that has been so generously given.  The wonderful letters, cards and email messages received has shown how Henry touched so many people’s hearts and provides us with tremendous comfort at this very difficult time.

Thank you.

Exciting Times
We are all excited about prospects of developments in both Edenbridge and at Buckmore Park near Chatham.
