    British motor-racing legend - and former TT competitor - John Surtees has died. 

    The 83-year-old had competed in 15 TT races and finished all bar one - coming first in the Senior in 1956, 1958, 1959 and 1960. 

    He also won the F1 drivers' championship in 1964 - four years after winning his fourth world title as a 500cc motorcyclist.

    He remains the only man to become world champion on both two and four wheels.
