Brian Redman is one of very few notable British racing drivers whose racing life has yet to be put on record in book form.
Now that is about to be rectified. Packed with photographs, Redman's memoir is a vivid account of his varied racing exploits, with special focus on the period 1968-73 when he won major sports car races in Ford GT40s, Porsche 908s and 917s, and Ferrari 312PBs.
Highly readable, and at times both humorous and poignant, this is a very personal book that will be welcomed by this popular and highly respected driver's legions of fans.
