When you look back on the history of Motorsport, one thing tragically stands out..... The amount of men and Women who gave their lives to try and take a step on the podium.
In this podcast I will be looking back at those who loved Motorsport, knew the risks when pulling on the crash helmet and gave it everything, including their lives. Who were they? Why did they race? What did we learn from their sacrifice? Could the outcome have been any different.
Covering everything on four and two wheels, from F1 to the IOM TT and beyond.

Henry Surtees
On the first ever episode of Dying to Race, we will look back at the life of Henry Surtees, who tragically died aged 18 in an F2 race at Brands Hatch in 2009. Son of legendary racer John Surtees, Henry was carving out his own career in Motorsport climbing up through the ranks and getting a seat in F2. Having had an average start to the new F2 season, Henry was looking forward to his home race at Brands Hatch and managed to get a podium in the first race that weekend. In the second race however, things took a tragic turn in an almost unbelievable way.
