Denny Hulme

Robert Newman

Denny Hulme was one of the most reserved men in motor racing. He seldom showed his emotions, which he camouflaged with a likable but sometimes gruff personality. Hulme never regarded himself a star, even if that were the case, and often went unrecognized in the most public of places, among them the Monaco Grand Prix not long before his death in 1992.

Yet Denny was the 1961 New Zealand Gold Star Champion, won the 1967 Formula One World Championship, and was the 1968 and 1970 Canadian-American Challenge Cup winner. He scored 8 championship Grand Prix victories and 33 podium places from 112 starts between 1967 and 1974, and won no fewer than 22 Can-Am races between 1968 and 1972.
