James Hunt secures his first Formula 1 contract with Hesketh Racing, the British team owned by Alexander Lord Hesketh \u2013 whose full title is Thomas Alexander Fermor-Hesketh, 3rd Baron Hesketh. Baron Hesketh, who founded, managed and financed the racing team from 1972 to 1978, turned it into a particularly close-knit community as well as a team that truly embraced life within the Formula 1 circus. By signing the then relatively unknown James Hunt, Lord Hesketh enabled the young, daring driver to truly showcase his talent on the track. James Hunt\u2019s career begins. <\/p>\n
He eventually became Formula 1 World Champion with McLaren in 1976. And he became a legend.<\/p>\n

We would all have loved to congratulate James Hunt in person on the 50th anniversary of his magnificent World Championship victory, but this fearless and exceptional talent died far too young in 1993, at the age of just 46, following a heart attack. He is survived by his sons Tom and Freddie and his wife Sarah Lomax. <\/p>\n
