James Hunt

Fast, aggressive, and wonderfully magnetic, James Hunt electrified Formula One during one of the the most exciting periods in the sport's history. The charismatic Englishman won the Championship in 1976 following the most intense and controversial season on record. The classic playboy racing driver, Hunt was renowned for his love of women, parties, and of course, fast cars. This wonderful authorized photographic biography includes exclusive interviews and memories from Hunt's close circle of colleagues and friends, including Niki Lauda, Jochen Mass, and John Watson, recalling the legendary life, endless carouses, and career milestones of a true legend of Formula One.
