The 'all new' embroidered Hesketh Racing Cap

It's taken us a few years to get the Hesketh Racing caps back in the range, but we think the wait has been worth it. We spent 6 months developing different designs which we presented to the RetroGP social media community for feedback. And this is the result.

We could not be happier with how it turned out.

The cap incorporates a remastered version of the original Hesketh Racing logo used on the team jackets back in the 70's. It's a little on the clunky side, but that's how things were back then, when graphics were designed by hand on drafting tables using pens, paper, set squares and French curves. It has authenticity. 

And just to add that little bit of extra panache, the cap's buckle is embossed with the Hesketh Bear.

There is no better example of an ‘Against all odds’ story than the 1974 Hesketh Racing Formula 1 team. With the maverick James Hunt at the wheel of the fabled Hesketh 308 F1 car and the extravagent, 23 year old Lord Hesketh at the helm, ‘The biggest little racing team in the world’, captured the public’s imagination.

Scorned by the established teams who considered them a bunch of public school boy amateurs with no place in the sport, Hesketh Racing audaciously challenged the big boys in their own back yard, and won.

If you are going to be involved in one of the most demanding, most expensive and most dangerous sports in the world, you might as well have as much fun as you can doing it. The team arrived by Rolls-Royce, hired yachts for Monaco and had a Grand Piano in the back of Pit lane for sing songs with friends and celebrities. Champagne flowed in abundance at Hesketh Racing.
