Fast, aggressive and wonderfully magnetic

James Hunt electrified Formula One during one the most exciting period in the sport's history. The charismatic Englishman won the Championship in 1976 following the most intense and controversial season on record.

The classic 'play boy' racing driver, Hunt was renowned for his love of women, parties and, of course, fast cars.

In this wonderful authorised biography, motor sport journalist Maurice Hamilton celebrates forty years since Hunt's World Championship win and recalls the legendary life, endless carouses and career milestones of a true legend of Formula One.
