Hesketh was the car that gave James Hunt the right notoriety in view of his move to McLaren which would lead him to the 1976 Formula 1. With the 308B the Englishman achieved his first victory in the Dutch Grand Prix in 1975, climbing on the podium in that same year on three other occasions. This car was an evolution of the 308 model designed in '74 by Harvey Postlethwaite. Characterized by a large nose that extended over the entire width of the car, it had a dry weight of 575 kg and a wheelbase of 2,540 mm. Equipped with double triangle front suspension and rear with lower parallel arms and single upper link, with the spring group and shock absorber inclined, the Hesketh 308B had been built on a monocoque frame in light alloy and mounted a 5-speed Hewland sequential manual gearbox more the reverse. The brakes were ventilated steel disc brakes and Goodyear tires. The engine was the Ford Cosworth DFV 8 cylinder 90 ° V of 2.993cc, delivering a power of 480 hp at 11,000 rpm.
