Today we wish a happy birthday to 1979 F1 world champion-turned-gentleman-farmer Jody Scheckter who celebrates his 70th year.
The South African's F1 career is well chronicled but his outstanding motorsport achievements have been matched by his successful business ventures.
Since 1996, Scheckter has run Laverstoke Park Farm, an organic/biodynamic farm in Hampshire.
For the past seven years, the estate has also been the home to Car Fest South, a fun filled festival full of mayhem, music and motor cars established by Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans to raise money for the Children in Need charity.
Scheckter is seen here in 2016 painfully attempting to race uphill on board his superb 'scarlet red' 1958 Porsche tractor!
