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.

Not bad for the money
Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
Not bad for the money, BUT, not high quality fabric (KINDA wrinkles easily, but Ironed nicely.. Stitching was decent.. Only washed one time (inside out and in cold), so it's kinda early to fully rate, but I will not over -wash it...For a musician, it's kinda nice ...Might buy a couple more for the stage👍

Sexy Shirt!
Color: White, Size: Large
My husband loves it. He says it’s soft and very comfortable. Flexible with his body but not tight at all. He’s a size large, 180# with welding pipes! He’s a welder by trade so his biceps are decent, this shirt doesn’t strangle them. He looks amazing in it and it wears well and comfortably under a suit or sports jacket. True to size and color.

5/5 Stars
Color: 01-black, Size: Large, Color: 01-black, Size: Large
I absolutely love this black cowboy shirt! The first time I put it on, I could feel the quality. The material is comfortable but sturdy, and the embroidery on the front and sleeves is just beautiful. It gives that true Western vibe while still looking classy and modern. What I really like most is the fit — it’s sharp and clean but still gives me room to move and stay comfortable. I paired it with my boots and belt, and the whole outfit came together perfectly. I’ve gotten so many compliments wearing this shirt, and it definitely makes me feel confident and put together. Whether I’m dressing up for an event or just want to rock a casual cowboy look, this shirt never misses. It’s definitely one of my favorite pieces in my closet now!

Too loose
Color: Black (Retro Rose), Size: Small
I really like this shirt, but unfortunately it is way too loose for a size S. It looks like a XL. A shirt like that should be tight.
