There's a great book about James Hunt called "Shunt". It's available for Kindle.

From his early racing days he was called Hunt the Shunt. Used to race for a wealthy British Earl Lord Hesketh, they did a year or so in F1, think he designed (had designed) their own car. Also sold a nice Hesketh motorbike a V twin, got a poster of it somewhere.

Apparently, Lord Hesketh was even more of a serious party animal than Hunt was....if the book is to be believed.

The movie was released yesterday at the Rio Cinema in Gaithersburg and a had a chance to watch it. Here is my critic of the film.
The film is a bit over 2 hours and has a few dull moments. The movie centered more on Niki Lauda. Daniel Bruehl, who portraits Lauda did an excellent job. He stole the show and was very entertaining. Parts of the movie are in (Austrian) German, especially the dialog between Lauda and his wife. Subtitled translation matched fairly well. However a bit of the interpersonal communication was lost in the subtitles. A German saying he's is working on something is a bit different than an American, (The German actually will be WORKING on something not getting ready to WORK on something.) Racing scenes are a bit shaky. I've watched better in car footage posted by Dorkis. Cinematography was OK, in car footage and camera angles showing the drivers eyelashes are good. The best scene was when two Italians pick up a Lauda. Don't want to give anything away, so go see it. I am giving the movie a 4 out of 5 stars. Don't think its Oscar worthy. Would I go and see it again? Yes, but perhaps I wait till it comes out on DVD or Itunes.

Thanks for the review Gary!
My buddy from Cologne is going to be in town next weekend so I'm thinking we'll see it then. Looking forward to it.
