The Bio
James Hunt’s was a turbulent life lived to the limit – in and out of racing cars. As a driver he overcame constant fear and enormous odds to become the best in the world – triumphing in one of the most dramatic championship battles in Formula 1 history against Niki Lauda in 1976.
As a colourful personality and unconventional character he had no peers – alternately entertaining admirers and offending critics with his often outrageous behaviour. After he retired he continued to make a strong impact, as a TV commentator, but died suddenly in the prime of his life.
