James Hunt

James Hunt's story is a tale of a short but turbulent life lived to the limit. Triumphing against all the odds to become World Drivers' Champion with McLaren in 1976, Hunt sank into a period of decadence and depression - only to be rejuvenated as he found the true love for the first time. With that came the personal contentment and a renewed zest for living, so that one of the most colourful and controversial figures in Grand Prix racing is best remembered by those close to him as a fun-loving, caring man in Gerald Donaldson's account of his life.
