This intimate portrait of controversial World Champion James Hunt - in series with the successful "Memories of Ayrton Senna" - was put together from responses to the question: what is your strongest memory of him? Hunt - public school hell-raiser, loved and feared broadcaster, an enigma even to his friends - was one of the very few people who lived life as he wanted to. Because those who knew him and worked with him were free to reminisce rather than restrict themselves to a specific topic, all sorts of new and surprising material emerges.
Christopher Hilton has written a number of highly successful biographies about complex Grand Prix characters, including Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher and Murray Walker. His 'Memories' series brings a new aspect to this fascinating genre. He lives at Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire.
Schooling at Wellington College. Tumultuous and impoverished early racing experience when he crashed so much he was known as 'Hunt the Shunt'. Grand Prix career with Hesketh, McLaren and Wolf. Failed business career, drugs, sex, breeding budgies. Commentating for the BBC - after an uneasy start with co-presenter Murray Walker they became an immortal duo. Reforming himself, going bust, becoming a father and dying tragically young just as he found happiness. Memories from race colleagues, showbiz personalities, friends, fans and critics. Stunning personal pictures (handsome man, gorgeous girlfriends) as well as the drama of the races.
