Not sure if the full video “ John Surtees: buit to win” is available in other countries but it is one for people who get racing and winning racers.

Surtees won seven motorcycle-racing world championships in two classes (1956–60) and one Formula One drivers’ championship (1964). Isle of Man TT senior winner three times in succession. And as a background activity to to his main racing focus was the inaugural CanAm championship series winner in 66 I think? F1 Constructor, he sold his FOCA entry to Frank Williams.

Much overlooked when people who had far less talent and success garnered more fame and fortune.

How Surtees wasn’t ever recognised by the honour of SIR John despite his rather blunt reputation is completely beyond me and to detriment of the British honours system !

I remember watching him win the first GP for Honda in Mexico City.

Looks like a great video—can’t find it here in the USA. Any leads?
