James Hunt wasn't keen on wearing them, especially at formal events, but we're positive he would have donned these on his 'plates of meat' if they were available back in the 70's.

PEEK A BOO DRIVING BOOTS

At 6'1" James Hunt was quite tall for a driver, he also had big feet which created somewhat of a problem in the tight footwell of an F1 car. Hunt's solution was simple. He cut off the toes.

The Biggest Little Race Team in the World

There is no better example of an ‘Against all odds’ story than the 1974 Hesketh Racing Formula 1 team. With the maverick James Hunt at the wheel of the fabled 308 F1 car and the extravagant, 23 year old Lord Hesketh at the helm, ‘The biggest little racing team in the world’, captured the public’s imagination.

Scorned by the established teams who considered them a bunch of public school boy amateurs with no place in the sport, Hesketh Racing audaciously challenged the big boys in their own back yard, and won.

If you are going to be involved in one of the most demanding, most expensive and most dangerous sports in the world, you might as well have as much fun as you can doing it. The team arrived by Rolls-Royce, hired yachts for Monaco and had a Grand Piano in the back of Pit lane for sing songs with friends and celebrities. Champagne flowed in abundance at Hesketh Racing.
