Superbears: The Story of Hesketh Racing

Discover the thrilling story of Hesketh Racing, the Grand Prix phenomenon that defied conventions and captured the hearts of racing enthusiasts worldwide. In a time when commercialization took over, Hesketh Racing remained privately funded by the patriotic 22-year-old Lord Hesketh who had one goal in mind: to lead his promising driver, James Hunt, to World Championship glory. Their pure white livery car stood out on the track, while their lavish hospitality, helicopters, yachts, and infectious sense of fun made them the talk of the paddock.

Behind the playboy image, however, was a team of highly skilled professionals who meticulously organized every aspect of Hesketh Racing. Led by Bubbles Horsley, their expertise included legendary talents like designer Harvey Postlethwaite, engineer Nigel Stroud, and chief mechanic Dave 'Beaky' Sims. From their humble beginnings in 1973 with a rented March, Hesketh Racing went on to create their own car and achieve remarkable victories such as the 1974 International Trophy at Silverstone and the 1975 Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, catapulting James Hunt to superstardom.
