Few drivers captured the fearless energy of Formula 1 quite like James Hunt. The legendary British racer defined an era with speed, style, and unmistakable charisma — a spirit that still captivates motorsport fans today. The Goodwood collection pays tribute to Hunt’s remarkable legacy, celebrating the unforgettable 1976 championship season and the personality that made him one of racing’s most electrifying figures. From collector posters to limited-edition apparel, each piece captures the drama, confidence, and bold attitude that defined the golden age of Formula 1.
The story of Hunt’s legendary rivalry with Niki Lauda is also brought to life through unique collector items, including the book In the Name of Glory, a fast-paced retelling of their extraordinary sixteen-race battle for the 1976 world championship. Complementing it is a stunning Festival of Speed poster featuring Hunt’s McLaren M23 in pursuit of Lauda’s Ferrari 312 T2 — a moment that perfectly captures the intensity of one of motorsport’s greatest rivalries.
Goodwood also honours the broader golden era of British racing heroes. Hunt’s friendship with motorcycle legend Barry Sheene symbolised a time when champions ruled both two and four wheels with confidence and flair. Inspired by this shared spirit, exclusive T-shirts and memorabilia bring the colour and character of the 1970s paddock into your wardrobe or collection.
Whether you’re a lifelong Formula 1 enthusiast or a collector of motorsport history, the James Hunt collection celebrates a fearless era that continues to inspire racing fans around the world.
