Making of: The Hesketh 308 - Zandvoort reunion Film PART 3
The Hesketh Racing - Zandvoort reunion film had been mothballed for 18 months by the time the 2022 Dutch GP was announced.
It was probably time to admit defeat but a supernatural sized twist of fate gave us one, last chance.

If you want to read the background story of how we battled against the odds, overcame every possible problem that could be thrown at us and never giving up even when everyone was telling us that we should: -
Hesketh Racing 50th Anniversary Logo Design Competition
2022 will mark 50 years since Lord Hesketh and close friend Bubbles Horsley decided they needed to inject some excitement into their weekends.
