"James Hunt belongs in rarefied company as a great British sporting hero who transcended the arena that made him famous to become a genuine national - if not global - icon. During the 1970s you didn't need to be a motor racing fan to know who James Hunt was," said Damien Smith, Editor of Motor Sport magazine.
No fewer than 15 members of the Hunt family will be present in London on the 29th of January to see the accolade presented to James' eldest son, Tom Hunt.
"Clearly, he was a natural star, but the force of his personality sometimes means his ability and achievements as a truly exceptional racing driver are overlooked. That is why we feel it is important that James is made a member of the Motor Sport Hall of Fame," added Damien.
While the star-studded Motor Sport Hall of Fame evening is strictly 'by-invitation-only', highlights will be broadcast in an F1 Show Special aired on Sky Sports F1 channel in the U.K.
Late British racing driver, James Hunt, is always remembered as one of motor sport's biggest personalities - more so now that his ultimately successful title duel with arch rival Niki Lauda in 1976 has been immortalised in the Hollywood blockbuster Rush.
