In this vintage print from The Northcliffe Collection, we are transported back to the thrilling world of motor racing in the 1970s. Here, the legendary James Hunt takes center stage as he celebrates a remarkable achievement with his trademark charm and audacity. Caught mid-action, Hunt is seen swigging champagne with an infectious grin on his face. It was during the Race of Champions at Brands Hatch in March 1976 that he set a lap record, only to surpass it four months later during practice for the British Grand Prix. This photograph perfectly encapsulates Hunt's relentless pursuit of excellence and his insatiable thirst for victory. The image exudes an unmistakable sense of nostalgia, reminding us of a bygone era when motor racing was raw and unfiltered. The seventies aesthetic adds to its allure, transporting us back to a time when speed and glamour were intertwined on every racetrack. Terry Richards' expert eye has skillfully captured both the intensity and joy that defined James Hunt's career. As one gazes upon this iconic moment frozen in time, it serves as a testament not only to Hunt's exceptional talent but also to his larger-than-life personality that made him such an enduring figure in motorsport history. This print is more than just a piece of art; it is a window into an era where passion met performance on race tracks around the world.
