1976 eh? A pint, a quick shag then get dressed and give Nicki Lauder a drumming.

Attaboy!

He will be forever, Hunt The Shunt, for obvious reasons.

Forgive my asking, but who he?

The Wikigods say: James Simon Wallis Hunt was a British racing driver from England who won the Formula One World Championship in 1976. Hunt's often action packed exploits on track earned him the nickname "Hunt the Shunt."

Is that the guy?

Never heard of him.

He was a charismatic world champion racing driver Joe. I think most people liked him because of his obvious love of life. You probably don't know him so well in the USA because I believe you have your own preferred version of motor racing.

Joe there's film called Rush about to be released (27 September). Directed by Ron Howard it tells the story of the battle for the F1 World Championship between Hunt and Niki Lauda during the 1976 season. If it's anywhere near as dramatic as the actual events, it'll be an absolute must-see.
