Jody Scheckter, Formula 1's 1979 World Champion, celebrates his 75th birthday on this day.
The South African's F1 career started with McLaren in 1973 and unfolded over seven seasons, yielding 10 Grands Prix wins - with Wolf, Tyrrell and Ferrari - and a world title achieved with the Scuderia in 1979.
But Scheckter's life after F1 has been equally rewarding. Since 1996, the former F1 driver has run Laverstoke Park Farm, a very successful 2,500-acre organic/biodynamic farm in Hampshire.
And 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.
