Life at the Limit: British Formula 1 World Champion Graham Hill in winning form in the Maranello Concessionaires Ferrari 250 GTO during Goodwood’s 1963 RAC Tourist Trophy Race alongside compatriot Mike Parkes in the white 250 GTO. “You can always reckon”, remarked Hill, “that if you’ve got a Ferrari you should be in at the finish.” In 1975, the popular English champion, returning from testing on the Paul Ricard circuit in France, lost his life attempting to land his own aircraft in poor weather conditions. Few drivers of the era gained such celebrity or were held in such high esteem as Graham Hill.
