HESKETH
308
Lord Alexander Hesketh was barely 22 years
old when he founded Hesketh Racing in 1972.
The young Lord was full of ambition and within
a year climbed the ranks from Formula 3 into
Formula 1. His principle driver was James
Hunt, who was both hugely talented and an
equally flamboyant character. |

As
his technical man, Lord Hesketh hired a
promising, young engineer named Harvey Postlethwaite
who was commissioned to develop a brand
new racer for the 1974 Formula 1 series.
The 'Hesketh 308' retired on its first two
outings but success came a week later when
Hunt drove to victory in the non-championship
International Trophy race at Silverstone.

|
|
|
In
the season's Grands Prix, Hunt could
not challenge seasoned teams like
Tyrrell, Lotus, Ferrari and McLaren
for pace.
Thanks to his steady driving and the
ever improving Hesketh, he found himself
on the podium three times towards
the end of the season.

Hunt
continued his good form in 1975 by clinching
second in the first race of the new season.
Hesketh was clearly closer to the top teams
than a year before.
At the Dutch Grand Prix, Hunt and Hesketh
made the most from the changing weather
conditions. On a drying track, Hunt was
the first to pit for slick tyres. It was
enough to emerge in the lead after all top
runners had swapped tyres.
Hunt fought off the soon to be crowned World
Champion Niki Lauda and scored the team's
first Grand Prix victory. He followed that
maiden win with another second place finish
and eventually ended the season fourth in
the driver's standing.
