Hope all are safe and well.

 

The art dealer David Mason was chairman of the Gunnar Nilsson Cancer Treatment Campaign. He told me that between the Argentine and Brazilian Grand Prix in 1979, James Hunt and Niki Lauda held a press conference at the Sheraton Hotel in Rio De Janeiro. Mason arranged it so they could stay there and they gave the world's media a conference to discuss the cancer treatment campaign.

 

What would be the best magazines and newspapers to consult who may have photos of this conference? The Argentine Grand Prix of 1979 was on 21 January and Brazilian Grand Prix was on 4 February. The conference took place between those dates.

 

Thanks as ever for the kind help.

Possibly Autosprint, as they ran a campaign in '79 to raise awareness of the cause and the Gunnar Nilsson cancer fund.

Hope there are more magazines. I have contacted the hotel concerned.
