Footnotes

This lot is from the Estate of the Late Patricia Phyllis Surtees (née Burke) (1939-2023), items formerly the property of John and Pat Surtees.

After the war, in her teenage years, Pat travelled with her father John 'Jack' Burke in the UK and to Europe. Enjoying his many successes as an amateur club racing driver in the 1950s, driving a Healey Silverstone and one of the first Porsche 356 Carreras to come into the UK. Both becoming well established in the motor racing field, meeting and becoming good friends with the likes of Ian Scott Watson and Jim Clark, motorsport journalist Denis Jenkinson, and many others.

Pat married John Surtees in February 1962, Jim Clark was the best man, and from then on Pat became more involved with Formula 1, travelling the world with John, wherever he was racing and later as a member of Team Surtees. She was known for keeping precise records of his and other driver's lap times using her trusty Lemania Nero stopwatch, and their track positions on her Ferodo Lap Charts. Pat was so well respected among the Formula 1 family for her accuracy in timing and her neatly kept lap charts that sometimes her notes were used to confirm official records, or, on occasion, if there was a dispute her records were consulted and used.

Extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the sport Pat was always more comfortable amongst the drivers, mechanics and racing teams than a life of domesticity. Even after her marriage to John ended in 1979 her dedication to Formula 1 stayed with her all her life. Never failing to watch all the F1 drivers in practice, qualifying and the race itself right through all the years until she died in 2023.
