Past Gas #162 - The Hill Family Racing Dynasty

In the autumn of 1975, Graham Hill was in a new phase of his life. He had just retired from Formula One as a two-time World Champion, as well as the only driver in history to win the F1 championship, Indianapolis 500, and 24h of Le Mans. From cinematic near-death experiences to triumphant comebacks, Graham Hill was a living legend. But on a cold and foggy November evening in 1975, Graham’s heroic life came to a sudden and tragic end, leaving his family both broken and broke, with his only son Damon left to pick up the pieces. Would Damon achieve greatness like his father? Or would the pressure of being Graham Hill’s son prove to be too big of a burden? Today on Past Gas, the incredible careers of Graham and Damon Hill.
