JAMES HUNT CELEBRATION

This year's event will celebrate the life and career of James Hunt, who won the Formula One World Championship 40 years ago in 1976, with Brands Hatch playing a major role in an incredibly dramatic F1 season. Hunt also won the Race of Champions non-championship event that year, when he went wheel-to-wheel with friend and rival Niki Lauda.

Hunt's larger than life character will be celebrated by demonstration runs and a display from cars he raced during his career, from Minis to the Hesketh and McLaren Formula 1 cars that forged his reputation, plus memorabilia from his career, including his famous race helmet and the 1976 Japanese Grand Prix trophy - from the race that completed his title success. His son Freddie will be guest of honour, presenting trophies, and signing a new James Hunt publication. 

Visitors are also being encouraged to share their memories of James by adding their own photos of him to a picture board or tweeting their memories and photos to @mastershistoric using #jameshunt

The display cars will be located behind the Brabham/Stewart hospitality suites opposite the pit straight on Sunday.
