Featured Race
United States 1976
James Hunt won the penultimate round of the 1976 season at Watkins Glen to take the championship battle to a deciding race. Hunt had been reeling in Niki Lauda following his fiery Nurburgring crash, and back-to-back wins in Canada and the US left him within three points of the leader. Hunt was involved in a race-long fight with Jody Scheckter, eventually pulling clear to win by eight seconds as his McLaren improved on lower fuel. Lauda withstood late pressure from Jochen Mass to finish a distant third, and would ultimately see Hunt take the title in Japan.

Featured Driver
Carel Godin de Beaufort
A genuine amateur who funded his own passion to race, Carel Godin de Beaufort went from ridicule to respect in the Formula One paddock. Full name Jonkheer Carel Pieter Anthonie Jan Hubertus Godin de Beaufort, he was initially nicknamed "Fatty Porsche" by the other drivers due to his size and tendency to get in the way. Regular appearances in 1962 and 1963 saw him score twice in each season and silence the critics before he died from injuries sustained in a practice crash at the 1964 German Grand Prix.
