On the morning of Sunday 13th June 1993 James Hunt cycled the six miles from his home in Wimbledon to the BBC Television Centre in London's White City to commentate on the Canadian Grand Prix with Murray Walker. People who saw him that day didn't recall him ever being happier. When the race finished he cycled home and began a marathon snooker match which lasted into the early hours of the following day. At around 2am on Tuesday morning, about to get into bed, he suffered a major heart attack and sollapsed beside his bed wearing his dressing gown. For nine hours he remained undiscovered on the floor with his two dogs, Jackson and Muffy, laid one on each side, guarding their master. Pronounced dead at 10am at the age of 46, Hunt's heart muscles had been fatally weakened by a life of hard drinking, recreational drug use and smoking cigarettes. This book is about his life, his victories on the track, the girls he loved and lost, and the huge amounts of money he earned and spent. No stone has been left unturned and no fact deemed too small to accomodate, including his lifelong devotion to dogs and budgerigars. This is the first proper story of a man beloved by all those who knew him but despised by those who did not understand the rules by which he lived his life. It is the story of a man whose kind will almost certainly never be seen again.
