RIP John Surtees

He is in the current issue of R&T about F1 Champions who are still alive. I met him at Road America a decade ago when he was the Grand Marshal for the July Vintage.
Super nice guy, very down to earth.

Loved reading about him and appreciating his talents; a hero at a time when bravery really counted.

RIP.
