James Hunt's Formula 1 Car

James Hunt Exhibition at the Cotswold Motoring Museum

With the roar of the current Formula 1 engines still ringing in our ears and the likes of Button, Hamilton and Schumacher filling the sports pages, the Cotswold Motoring Museum invites you to look back to 1979 and the British racing legend James Hunt.

The Museum is exhibiting the impressive Wolf WR7 Formula 1 Car (1979-1982), the last car ever driven by James Hunt at the Monaco Grand Prix.

The James Hunt exhibition is open from 2^nd April to mid December 2010. As well as the Wolf WR7, the exhibition will also contain information about the car’s background and comments from the current owner: CSMA Club member, Andrew Smith.

Michael Tambini, the Museum Curator says: “The Museum is owned by CSMA Club, so I was delighted when out of the blue, one of our members, Andrew Smith, phoned to ask if we would like to display James Hunt’s last Formula 1 car. I have to say I jumped at the chance. Hunt is a British sporting hero and we are thrilled to be able to show this historic vehicle.”

This is a wonderful chance to view a Formula 1 car up close and find out the history behind the turbulent life of the infamous racing driver. There is even a life size image of James Hunt himself!
