James Hunt is often dismissed as a champion by default ��� winning the 1976 title only because Niki Lauda was unable to defend his crown after his huge crash at the Nurburgring. This film shows that far from being an ���accidental�۪ champion Hunt worked every step of the way to earn his title. Ron Howard�۪s film, Rush, has brought the 1976 F1 season to worldwide attention ��� this is the real story of Hunt�۪s career and shows just how hardworking and committed he was to sport he chose to make his life. In an era when Jody Schekter, Emerson Fittipaldi, Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni were all at the top of their games, Hunt could hold his head high in their exalted company. Rare archive footage shows his skill on the track for Hesketh, McLaren and Wolf Racing, while rare interviews remind us of the cheeky quips and trademark broad grin. Expert narration is provided by Sir Stirling Moss. ���A must-see for F1 followers. Four Stars" Auto Express.
