Subject: RE: BS: James Hunt...(1947-1993)
Struggled down to Brands Hatch on the train in 1974. Hesketh teddy bears everywhere once we got there. Got a really good spot to watch the Boy Wonder. Only went off on lap two, didn't he! (Mind you so did half the field).
Re Graham Hill, I always remember the story George Bishop (I think) told in Car magazine. They took some fairly ineffectual British sports car down to Silverstone for a test, photo session etc. Hill was just walking down to test an F1 car. He gives Bishop an evil grin and says "'Ello ace - come to blow us all off have you?"
