An outstanding biography of Britain's fifth Formula One World Champion.
James Hunt was one of F1's most flamboyant and colourful characters. Spectacular to watch behind the wheel, he was a man who enjoyed life to the full and never took himself too seriously. His racing career reached a peak in 1976 when he challenged Niki Lauda all the way to the final race of the season to take the F1 crown. Hunt retired from racing in 1979 with no regrets, and went on to become a successful commentator for the BBC with Murray Walker.
This definitive biography features an extensive personal interview (recorded just a year before his death) in which James recalls the major stages of his career and is combined with exciting archive material. This includes some real gems - from his early Mini races in 1967 to his ten GP victories. You will enjoy superb footage of James driving a variety of cars including March, Hesketh and McLaren.
The world of motor racing has found many fond memories of James Hunt and this film captures not only his driving skills but the warmth of his character which made him a household name, popular far beyond the realms of F1.
"...full of golden memories and plenty of laughter. It is a fine tribute to a much loved and very British World Champion"
