James successfully shed his "Hunt the Shunt" sobriquet - earned through a succession of frightening F3 accidents - to graduate into the Grand Prix arena with distinction.
Initially he grabbed the headlines with his exploits driving for Lord Hesketh's colorful independent F1 team and won the 1975 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort by feet from Lauda's Ferrari.
Admittedly aided by Lauda's temporary absence from racing following his Nurburgring accident, Hunt took the title challenge all the way to the final race at Mount Fuji where third place in torrential rain was sufficient to clinch his crown.
