I remember Brian from the early 60s when we were competing in local sprints and hill climbs with our Mini Coopers.

I was at Oultan Park when Brian first drove the Red Rose E Type and broke the lap record. I asked him what it was like to drive this superb machine, his reply was “its just like driving the mini but the trees come at you a lot quicker”. A real character and a real racer ! Good Luck with the book Brian

Brian Redman is the reason I have been a motor racing fanatic for about 45 years – since the Red Rose E type days where as a young boy I watched from the Oulton pits courtesy of my late father. For me Brian is quite simply one of the best of the best and listening to him here has reinforced that, and, my, how lucky I am to have such a hero! Bri Red = top man!

Motorsport magazine pod casts didnt take long to get into top gear what with the Brian Redman interview.
I have listened to it twice and kept it on my ipod for a future listen. I have also been playing clips to friends.
Keep up the good work and push Brian into finishing the book.
More throttle less brake is and excellent title.

Great podcast, better than marios actually and that’s from someone who’s never even heard of Redman!

i wonder if in 30 years todays stars will have such stories to tell or whether the sport is just fundamentally more sanitised today?

Wonderful stuff,and so many memories came flooding back.
The Redmans were family friends living in Burnley Lancashire and Nigel Roebuck and i were in the class of Russell Harty at Giggleswick school when Brian Redman was just starting to make a name for himself in motorsport.His exploits in an a sooped up Morris Countryman made him a local legend whilst still in his teens!
The book will stir up even more fond memories.Thanks for this.
