The most bizzare is the Gerhard Mitter funeral cortege ; seven works Porsche drivers in race overalls walking by a 911 with a coffin on top- with poor Mitter's race helmet on the front of the bloody coffin. Surreal and ghastly.
But a great book from a great driver- and so much nicer to read than either the near paranoid ramblings of the moustachioed one or the simply woeful effort from our kilted friend ...

There are two Mark Hughes, the chap who works for EVRO, the publishers of the Redman book, is not the F1 Mark Hughes. Both have worked for Autosport..........just at different times.
And yes, you are right, the Redman book is great.
