Hesketh were an English race team founded by Lord Hesketh in 1972, and which competed in Formula One from 1973 until the 1980s. The team were most notable for running a sponsorless, self-built car for notorious playboy James Hunt, with some success until late 1975, with him and the eponymous lord then departing from the team. After this blow, the team took a nosedive in fortunes they would never recover from, with financial issues plaguing the team's increasing futile attempts to qualify in its final years.
1977 would be the final year the team completed a full season of the World Championship (failing to pre-qualify for any of the 17 races that year), the team henceforth focusing on the Aurora AFX Formula One domestic series instead until winding up.
