Charming, handsome, irreverent, tenacious and an outstanding
talent, James Hunt had everything it took to become one of
England’s most famous sportsmen and a household. However, it
was his dogged determination and epic battles with Niki Lauda
which made him a Grand Prix Hero.

Glorious archive footage shows us the great racer in action,
while rare interviews remind us of the cheeky quips and
trademark broad grin. There’s dramatic racing film from his
debut at the 1973 Monaco Grand Prix right through to the
Formula One World Championship-decided Japanese Grand Prix in
1976, with narration throughout from Sir Stirling Moss.

Despite a reputation which earned him the nickname ‘Hunt the
Shunt’, Lord Hesketh signed up the young Brit for an assault
on Formula One. We are treated to footage from that first
year, including Hunt’s maiden podium at the Dutch Grand Prix,
and action from 1974, when Hunt, with Harvey Postlethwaite’s
Hesketh 308 at his disposal could manage only three podium
finishes. The 1975 season also proved tough for the team, but
the highlight came at Zandvoort when Hunt scored his first,
and Hesketh’s only, Grand Prix win – and archive footage lets
us share the epic battle with Lauda.

In 1976 came a move to McLaren and one of the most fascinating
and turbulent season’s of Formula One racing. Lauda’s Ferrari
led the way with a domination which would have broken the spirit
of most contenders. Not Hunt. Neither was his ambition stifled
by controversies such as disqualification from two GP wins or a
grid penalty ‘mistake’. Hunt kept the pressure on and at the
final race of the year he was just 3 points behind Lauda, still
carrying the scars of his horrific crash in Germany.

Some say Hunt won his World Championship be default, due to
Lauda’s crash, but the spectacular and determined racing in this
DVD shows he was a worthy winner, and a true Grand Prix Hero
