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.

As Good as My Skims. Seriously!
Special Size: Long Sleeve, Size: Small, Color: Black
Honestly, this top is as good as my Skims! The fit is flattering, the fabric feels smooth and supportive, and it keeps its shape wash after wash. I wear it for workouts, errands, and even layering under blazers — it’s that versatile. Great quality for the price.

good fit for cheap!
Special Size: Short Sleeve, Size: Small, Color: White
I like the material it’s more athletic, not see through, cuts off at a flattering length, good stretch my only point deduction is that I wish it took in a bit more in the waist to fit a bit better I wear a 32D bra with a 25-26in waist

Cute but beware of the length
Special Size: Long Sleeve, Size: X-Large, Color: Bright Red, Special Size: Long Sleeve, Size: X-Large, Color: Bright Red
It’s cute but the fit is off. If you’re short like me (5’4) then the leggings and sleeves are long but overall it’s cute. I just don’t wear it often because of the fit.
