This from a man who had “Sex, breakfast of champions," embroidered onto his racing overalls. A brave, fearless and very gifted race car driver, James Hunt was also the last great example of the playboy racing driver. He loved women, was a chain smoker, took drugs, was a hard drinker and could never behave properly. For example, the McLaren driver loved to arrive at a very chic Monaco palace in his Porsche 911 bare feet and wearing ridiculously old jeans and a t-shirt. As Jackie Stewart once said it was a time when sex was safe and motor racing dangerous. but while three-time World Champion Jackie Stewart famously abstained from sex a week before a motor race, Hunt would often have sex minutes before climbing into the cockpit.
