Life with Legends 005: Brian Redman

All of us fans of motor racing are very lucky that Brian Redman ever sat behind the wheel of a racing car. Not just for his undoubtable skills and the success he found during the most dangerous and daunting era of the sport, but for the extraordinary ability he has to recount details of the many moments in his life in such detail it makes you feel like you were there yourself!

 Widely appreciated and in demand for his storytelling abilities, Brian is a most entertaining man, a true gentleman that brings light to everyone he meets.

 But that is the modern day Brian Redman; And one that contrasts with the single minded, tough competitor that he was in his prime!

 From Formula One where he had 12 starts and one Podium, Brian really forged his niche and reputation in the sportscar series, where he achieved wins in the Targo Florio, Daytona 24 Hours three times and two class victories at Le Mans (and a whole lot more!).

 I am lucky to call Brian a friend and to actually sit down at his house in Vero Beach and spend a couple of hours together was very special.

 And yes. We did have soup.
