2022 will mark 50 years since Lord Hesketh and close friend Bubbles Horsley decided they needed to inject some excitement into their weekends.

To celebrate the team’s 50^th Birthday year we need an Anniversary logo, and we thought that instead of designing it in-house, it would be a smashing idea to turn the task over the you.

The 2021 Goodwood Revival

On Tuesday 10th August we entered a Hesketh Racing team in Motormouth’s inaugural Celebrity Kart race at Whilton Mill to raise money for ‘The Brain Tumour Charity’. We even took James Hunt’s Hesketh 308-1 along for some demo laps. You can now watch the broadcast of the whole event. 

For most motorsport fans, Lord Alexander Hesketh, needs no introduction. He founded Hesketh Racing at only 22 years old, and within a year his team moved from F3 to the pinnacle of motor racing, Formula 1. ‘Le Patron’, as he was known in the team, brought not only champagne, lobsters and glamour to the grand prix tracks of Europe, but some of the most exciting racing of the era with James Hunt behind the wheel. A true British underdog story, Hesketh Racing took on the “giants” of Formula One, including Ferrari, with unrivalled style and remarkable success. Private Collectors Club are delighted to present a fascinating interview with the legend that is Lord Hesketh.
