Henry Surtees was only 18 when he died in a racing accident almost a year ago - only a few weeks after we'd taken this photo of him driving one of his Dad's old GP cars up the Hill Climb at Goodwood Festival of Speed. A talented up-and-coming racing driver, Henry was following in his father's footsteps, well, probabbly not all of them as his Dad remains the only person to have won world championships on both 2- and 4-wheels.




















Anyway, Henry's school friends are swimming the English Channel next week in Henry's memory to raise funds for the Surtees family's nominated charity, Headway, which helps those with brain injuries. Yes, you did read that right, they are SWIMMING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL! Their Just Giving page is here if you'd like to donate. If you're reading this after the Just Giving site has closed, please click on the word Headway above to go to their donations site.
