I do recommend for the formula one fans who remember hunt. Aug 10, Riccardo Paterni rated it it was amazing Shelves: motor-racing. When Formula 1 racing was real racing no electronic controls etc. From a struggling and little promising career in the lower formulas to the thrilling F1 title. A flat out biography that present an involving human side about Hunt unknown to many Feb 07, Dan Pickles rated it really liked it. The first half of this book is the best thing I have ever read, the second is dull dull dull. Buy it, read half of it and walk away having had a bloody good time. View 1 comment. The definitive James Hunt biography This book is packed full of interviews with friends and family and James Hunt: The Biography Hunt himself. Donaldson has clearly done a lot of research which really adds to the narrative. The book feels really comprehensive covering the whole career. It James Hunt: The Biography an read and a great insight into the character of James Hunt: The Biography very interesting man. Great read! Absolute detailed account of the magnificent life of James Hunt! Well worth the time to sit back and read! Must read! I agree with Dean - what James Hunt: The Biography character Hunt was! Aug 18, Phil Hodgkiss rated it really liked it. Interesting insight into the life and career of a sporting superstar. It's respectful without falling into hero-worship, and it's informative without succumbing to excessive verbosity: if you only read one James Hunt biography and with Rush James Hunt: The Biography to hit theatres soon, many probably willmake it this one. Gerald Donaldson brought his "A" game for this one, putting together a densely-packed, highly readable summary of the extraordinary life of James Hunt, best known for sensationally winning the Formula 1 World Championship, for being a gorgeous poster boy for It's respectful without falling into hero-worship, and it's informative without succumbing to excessive verbosity: if you only read one James Hunt biography and with Rush due to hit theatres soon, many probably willmake it this one. Gerald Donaldson brought his "A" game for this one, putting together a densely-packed, highly readable summary of the extraordinary life of James Hunt, best known for sensationally winning the Formula 1 World Championship, for being a gorgeous poster boy for the anti-establishment counterculture of the 's in the UK at leastand for living as the hedonist's James Hunt: The Biography for much of that time. Donaldson's book covers all of that, and plenty more, with an affectionate and good-natured tone that is a pleasure to read. He neither glosses over Hunt's more appalling moments, but nor does he condemn them, being more interested - the mark of the true biographer - in understanding his subject's mind in such moments. There's also hardly a page in it that isn't aided by a quote from someone who was there, and although many of them are in Formula 1's "public domain", much of it doesn't show up anywhere else - most notably Alastair Caldwell, McLaren's engineering chief in the forgotten era before Ron Dennis. To me the book's only real flaw is that James Hunt: The Biography shies away from really delving into the darker part of Hunt's life in the late 's. Some have speculated that, like Heath Ledger, his extraordinary energy was a result of bipolar disorder. I have no idea if this has been established medically, but it's an intriguing idea that should have been explored. Certainly nobody realised how much James was driven by his own inner James Hunt: The Biography until after his death, and the later chapters should have shone a newer, darker light on his mid's heyday of partying, substance abuse and seat-of-the-pants driving. But it doesn't, and the book is slightly one-dimensional as a result. But nevertheless, if the movie has you pumped up wanting to read more about the life of one of Formula 1's most famous or infamous personalities, look no further. Gerald Donaldson has you covered. Apr 10, Susan Paxton rated it really liked it. James Hunt's Formula One career was brief but memorable, and never more so than in when he challenged Niki Lauda for the World Championship, a gripping story soon to be told on film in Ron Howard's upcoming September film "Rush. Hunt's life and racing career are covered ably, James Hunt's Formula One career was brief but memorable, and never more so than in when he challenged Niki Lauda for the World Championship, a gripping story soon to be told on film in Ron Howard's upcoming September film "Rush. Hunt's James Hunt: The Biography and racing career are covered James Hunt: The Biography, as is his life James Hunt: The Biography racing, when his calm baritone voice and crisp analysis became the antithesis to Murray Walker's often wacky enthusiasm on BBC F1 broadcasts. Donaldson does not back away from the fact as indeed James did not that Hunt was a man with demons - sex and substance addiction, massive depression coupled with periods of mania, and yet reveals ably that James also was in his own way a good man who loved his children, adored his dog Oscar, played the trumpet well, raised champion budgies, and prayed regularly. Towards the end of his life Hunt got to grips with his problems, and it would be interesting to know if he took advantage of the new antidepressants coming in to use at the time. In fact, Donaldson would have been well advised to get some commentary and analysis from a psychologist James Hunt: The Biography two on just what propelled, motivated, and obsessed Hunt. This paperback edition is somewhat indifferently proofread, but will give readers an absorbing introduction to James Hunt and his life in and out of Formula One. Aug 27, Dean rated it it was amazing. Fantastic read - what a character Hunt was. Hilarious, sad, moving and nail biting - all in one book. As "sports bios" go, this is one of the very best. Donaldson combines his own writing with alot of very valuable "oral history". The result is a portrait of a man-in-full. Hunt James Hunt: The Biography a larger-than-life-character and is, unlike so many sports figures, worthy of a biography. Read the biography after watching "Rush". James Hunt undoubtedly is a legend in his sport and his short life is as dramatic as the film itself. His racing against Niki Lauder in is something to remember and it is a pity that James went downhill afterwards and never get back to the top again. Oct 06, Richard Melville rated it really liked it. I wish the movie Rush had portrayed the real James Hunt: The Biography instead of the detuned version. A real character never to be seen in Formula One again or any major sport for that matter due to corporatisation James Hunt: The Biography political correctness.

  • World's Oldest Active Rally Navigator Takes Part in New Zealand Haka
    World’s oldest active rally navigator takes part in New Zealand Haka Classic Rally at age 98 Submitted by: Insight Marketing Concepts Thursday, 27 October 2016 Guinness World Record holder navigates for son, 73-year old ex-Formula 1 McLaren team manager, Alastair Caldwell in Oct/Nov Haka Rally. Dorothy Caldwell, who lives in Flagstaff, New Zealand, and is the Guinness World Record holder as the world’s oldest active rally navigator, is to take to the roads again in the New Zealand Haka Classic Rally, a 5,354 kilometer classic car competition on the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The rally starts in Auckland on October 30th and heads to Wanaka before coming back to Auckland again, ending on 25th November. 98-year old Dorothy will be navigating for her son, Alastair Caldwell in his 1963 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud III. The same team and car took part in the TransAm rally from New York to Alaska four years ago and Dorothy won the “Spirit of the Rally” award and her team came 5th overall. Alastair Caldwell grew up in New Zealand and in 1966 attended the Tasman series racing, where the mechanics encouraged him to come to England to work in motor racing. He did so and became a notable part of the multi-national McLaren Formula 1 racing team. In the 1970s he became team manager, managing world champions such as Emerson Fittipaldi, Nelson Piquet and James Hunt. In fact, this week, October 24th, marks the 40th anniversary of James Hunt winning the F1 World Championship at the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976, with Alastair as team manager, an event immortalized in the 2013 movie, Rush.

But when the subject of your film is British Formula 1 racing driver James Hunt - who was known for his playboy behaviour off the track - it was necessary to inject some steamy scenes to capture his free-spirited character and some of the glamour of the s. But it Rush to Glory: Formula 1 Racings Greatest Rivalry entirely appropriate and what we were going for. Rush sees Thor actor Hemsworth star as Hunt in the movie, which tells the story of his famous rivalry with Austrian driver Niki Lauda, played by Inglourious Basterds star Daniel Bruhl that led to a devastating crash at the German Grand Prix in It's an interesting choice of film for both Howard and writer Peter Morgan considering they weren't originally fans of Formula 1 before embarking on the project. Thinking no-one would be interested in the story, Morgan wrote the film on spec as a character drama without any actual racing in it, assuming - if the film was ever made - Rush to Glory: Formula 1 Racings Greatest Rivalry would only have a small budget. Bourne Ultimatum director Paul Greengrass had initially signed on to the project, but later pulled out due to the financial constraints.

He hated dressing up— wearing old blue jeans and often walking around in his bare feet, even on formal occasions. He drank heavily, smoked two packs a day, experimented with drugs, partied hard, and enoyed the ladies. He married one of them, Suzy Miller, a fashion model who eventually left him for the actor Richard Burton. While he became a media darling for the tabloid press, his behavior was less appreciated by Formula One journalists, who found him a frustrating mixture of boisterous charm and overbearing conceit.

  • Orange Times Issue 17
    The Orange Times Bruce McLaren Trust March/April/May 2017, Issue #17 As this Orange Times goes to press we are in the final stages of the McLAREN documentary process – working with the Australasian distributor and General Film Corporation on the previews and the releases. Whilst the official New Zealand Premiere is on Tuesday 30th May in Auckland, the public release worldwide will be on 1st June. However the first pre-release Private Previews in New Zealand will be held by the Bruce McLaren Trust on the week commencing Monday 15th May. These “McLAREN - see it first with the BMT” previews will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and will be by ‘invitation only’ to members and supporters of the Trust. Invitations will be emailed to all with dates and details as soon as they are confirmed. It is our understanding that other private previews will be held in the UK and the USA and we will endeavour to keep our overseas members and supporters informed of any dates and locations. There are exciting times ahead and I do have to report that the documentary is excellent, emotional, with lots of photos and film that I have never seen. Roger Donaldson, Fraser Brown and Mathew Metcalfe have done a wonderful job. I was privileged to be flown to Melbourne to attend one of the first VIP screenings (a very small audience) and, in the company of McLaren Old Boys Jimmy Stone and Alastair Caldwell, and Zak Brown from McLaren UK, the 90-odd minutes just flew by. I can’t wait to see it again, and again, and again.

For each painting, drivers and motorsport personalities were asked to express in their own words what Ferrari means to them. The quotes were then incorporated by Mark into the painting, to provide a fascinating insight into what Ferrari means to them.
