It's 27 years to the day that James Hunt died-of a heart attack. He really was a real racing driver of the old school -not one of today's colourless characters who cannot say anything without their PR Manager and their sponsor's PR Managers clearing it first.
Here I am taking beer drinking lessons from James at the Australian GP in Adelaide in 1985.
I
met him and downed a few with him prior to this when he won a Formula
5000 race at Winton, Victoria - in Oct 78. I was staying in the same
motel as him and the Elfin team and he took over the bar at 7.00pm and
was still going strong late into the night when I turned in. All in a
day's racing for James.
Those were the days.
