John Surtees may be 81, but that doesn't stop him from jumping in to a racing car at the first opportunity. At this weekend's Goodwood Revival, the former Ferrari driver took to the wheel of a 1965 Ferrari 250 LM in order to lead out a field of pre-1960 cars for the Lavant Cup feature race. Not a bad perk of being an F1 world champion.
