James Hunt and Niki Lauda defined an era in Formula 1 in the 70s. Their battle for the 1976 World Championship is still regarded as one of the most exciting and dramatic in the sport's history. This is the story of that season and much more.

With Lauda's return from life-threatening injuries the stuff of legend and Hunt's last gasp title success bringing a whole new generation of followers previously immune to the sport, the Playboy and the Rat brings that story to life once more.

After that remarkable season, their careers, and their lives, went in almost polar opposite directions, with Lauda becoming the respected elder statesman of the sport. Hunt died at an unseemly age after a life that typified the image of a racing driver.

'The Playboy and the Rat' tells their story from ambition-filled beginnings to the culmination of their dreams and beyond.

The rivalry was made into the film Rush, starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Bruhl as Hunt and Lauda respectively. If you enjoyed the film, you will love the book.

Less than a week of use and peeling
Color: Black (Passcase), Color: Black (Passcase)
I got this as a gift for my husband and he used it for less than a week and the edges are already peeling. It seems more plastic than real leather. Very disappointing for the price. Would not expect this from Carhartt as their quality is typically very good.

Used Watch?
Color: Black/Gray/Digital
The watch is great but the watch had been worn. The protective film was removed and it was loose in the watch box and not on the plastic holder. I bought a new watch not a used one. Joe
