Product description
This new book celebrates the amazing adventures of Hesketh Racing.
Hesketh Racing was a Grand Prix phenomenon. In a time of increasing commercialisation and cars that had forsaken national racing colours in favour of sponsors’ logos, the team was privately funded by Lord Hesketh – a patriotic 22-year-old who was determined to take his promising young driver, James Hunt, to World Championship glory. Their car stood out on the track thanks to its pure white livery – and the team stood out in the paddock thanks to its lavish hospitality, its helicopter and yachts, and its infectious sense of fun.
Inside:
● The full story of Hesketh Racing, from its Formula 3 debut in 1972 to its final Formula 1 race in 1978.
