First of all let me wish everyone a safe and peaceful Christmas and New Year: 2015 has seen its ups and downs however everyone at the Henry Surtees Foundation deserves a pat on the back for the sterling work achieved during this very busy year raising not just funds, but awareness too! My sincere thanks also to the faithful sponsors and supporters as without them we would not be able to continue our work in helping those who have suffered head trauma and other serious accidents.

2016 will see another year and another great step forward for the foundation with plans afoot to...  (watch this space!)

In January BBC 2 aired a ‘Racing Legends’ episode on John Surtees, which proved so popular it was broadcast twice. The programme saw John paired with keen motorcycle enthusiast and Great British Bake Off star Paul Hollywood. Paul took to the track and the Isle of Man TT circuit to recreate some of John’s finest races. Paul’s sheer enthusiasm and genuine pleasure of working with John, and riding the MV Agusta was clearly evident.

Paul Hollywood said “It was a real privilege and an honour to not only meet a true living legend… but to be allowed to ride his championship MV Augusta, was a dream come true! It was one of the best days of my life!”

Paul has since become a firm friend and ambassador of HSF and has supported numerous events throughout the year.
