Go beyond the mystique to learn more about the man in this 2001 documentary – The Real James Hunt.
“James Hunt was unlike any other racing driver. In a sport that demands cool precision, he was hot-headed; volatile; passionate.”
A World Champion driver with a fierce talent, a temper to match and a lust for life that eclipsed them both, James Hunt is one of the characters of Formula 1 who epitomises its golden age.
