From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brian Redman (born March 9, 1937 in Colne, Lancashire, United Kingdom) is a former Formula One driver from England.
He was very successful in sportscar racing and the World Sportscar Championship, winning the 1970 Targa Florio with a Porsche 908 and the 12 Hours of Sebring twice, in 1975 with a BMW Coupé and in 1978 with a Porsche 935. He was for many years associated with the Chevron marque, founded by fellow-Lancastrian Derek Bennett.
Redman drove for Shadow Racing Cars both in CanAm and in F1. He also appeared in McLaren, Cooper and Alfa Romeo cars. He participated in 13 Grands Prix, debuting on January 1, 1968. He achieved 1 podium, and scored a total of 8 championship points.
He was offered various other Formula One drives, but did not particularly enjoy the atmosphere of F1 even in the 1970s, preferring sports car racing.
