For me, Brian Redman was the guy who did it all. He drove GT40's and 908's. He drove 917's and 962's. He drove Jags and Aston martins. And now he is kicking everyone's asses on the historic circuit with an underpowered little 2-litre Chevron. Because he preferred sportscar racing, he TWICE turned down a Ferrari F-1 drive. He was more than good enough to be world champion.
The guy's competitive career spanned the mid sixties righ t up into the nineties, and he was on top of his game the entire time.
Not only all of that, but he is an incredible gentleman and wonderful personality. Truely, the stuff heros are made of.
