Henry John Surtees (18 February 1991 – 19 July 2009) was a British racing driver and the son of John Surtees.
Henry Surtees finished his debut season in the championship 7th in the overall points standings, and second in the Rookie Cup. During a season in which the second half was dominated by fellow rookie Marcus Ericsson, Surtees claimed one pole position ( Thruxton), one race win (Donington Park) and two fastest laps (Rockingham and Snetterton) while driving for the very successful Carlin Motorsport team. The season was marred by penalties and a disqualification at Oulton Park.
After two races in 2007, Surtees moved up full-time to the Formula Renault UK series in 2008 with Manor Competition. Surtees would go on to finish 12th in the championship, including a third place finish during a wild race at Silverstone's National Circuit. He also competed in the Winter Series again, having finished 13th in 2007. He battled James Calado for the title, with Calado coming out on top.
Brands Hatch is a motor racing circuit near Swanley in Kent, England. First used as a dirt track motorcycle circuit on farmland, it hosted 12 runnings of the British Grand Prix between 1964 and 1986 and currently holds many British and International racing events.
Gerhard Berger once said that Brands Hatch is "the best circuit in the world". Paddock Hill Bend is a renowned corner.
Brands Hatch offers two layout configurations: the shorter "Indy" layout (1.198 miles) is located entirely within a natural amphitheatre offering spectators views of almost all of the shorter configuration from wherever they watch. The longer "Grand Prix" layout (2.433 miles) played host to Formula One racing, including events such as Jo Siffert's duel with Chris Amon in 1968 and future World Champion Nigel Mansell's first win in 1985. Noise restrictions and the proximity of local residents to the Grand Prix loop mean that the number of race meetings held on the extended circuit are limited to just a few per year (usually for higher-profile series such as the BTCC and the BSB).

Я поучаствовал в благотворительной гонке в честь погибшего молодого гонщика Henry Surtees в 2009 году. Я был частью команды от Pokerstars, за нас выступал чемпион British GT 2013 Rick Parfitt Jr. Также на трассу выезжали болиды формулы 1 прошлого века за рулем которых были John Surtees, Max Chilton, Lucas di Grassi, Sam Bird и Alexander Sims. А после всех гоночных событий состоялся аукцион, на котором можно было купить экипировку гонщиков Ф1, подписанную ими же (Феттель, Райконенн, Хэмильтон).

7 fois champion du monde moto C’est à Tatsfield, en Angleterre, que nait John Norman Surtees le 11 février 1934. Ce pilote exceptionnel tant sur deux que quatre roues fait ses premiers pas dans le monde de la moto en 1951, alors qu’il n’a que 17 ans. En 1952, il prend part à son premier Grand Prix en catégorie 500 au guidon d’une Norton. Ses débuts sont prometteurs mais loin d’être éclatants avec un seul point à la fin de la saison. En 1953 et 1954, il affine son style de pilotage sans gagner un seul point au cours des deux saisons. Pourtant, en 1955, Surtees change la donne et signe ses premiers podiums toujours au guidon d’une Norton en 350cm3. Du côté de la catégorie 250, il ne démérite pas en bouclant le meilleur tour en course avec une NSU. Les premières heures de gloire La saison su...
