F1 world champion to be inducted into American Motorsport Hall of Fame
John Surtees will be one of a number of people to be inducted into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2024.
The 1964 Formula 1 world champion remains the only person in history to have won the world championship on both two and four wheels.

Inventors of the HANS device, which has saved many a driver's life, Jim Downing & Dr. Robert Hubbard are also on the list of inductees.
The rest of the group are complied of NHRA crew chief Austin Coil and Hollywood stuntman and desert racer Bud Ekins.
