John Surtees' record of eleven race wins in a row came between the years 1958 and 1960.

Surtees won the last two races of the 1958 season and claimed the championship before having a perfect outing in the 500cc during the 1960 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season. The British rider secured the championship in some style by winning all the 500cc races that year, taking his tally to nine successive race wins.

His last two race wins came during the 1960 season as he managed to win the first two races before losing out to Remo Venturi in the Dutch Grand Prix.

Interestingly, Surtees would have had a bigger record if only he had participated in the 1958 Swedish Grand Prix for he managed to win all the races prior to that event in that particular season.

Furthermore, John Surtees is the only motorcycle till date to win both the Formula One and the Grand Prix motorcycle racing championships. The Brit won his first Formula One title in the year 1964.
