Brian Redman auto racing |
 | | Redman, the son of a Lancashire retail grocery chain owner, who never saw him race,began racing in 1959, progressing through the ranks until by the mid-1960s he was competing in both sports-racing and open-wheeled formula cars on an international level with a fair degree of success. |
| | Paired with Siffert in one of the 908 long-tails on hand, Redman was standing in the back of the pits during practice, waiting for his turn in the flat eight, when the late Helmuth Bott told him to drive the 917, which was sitting waiting for anyone foolish enough to try it.. |
| | Redman, one of the better test drivers and nominated along with Siffert to be part of the Gulf Wyer team ("Jo and I were actually paid by the factory, while Pedro Rodriguez and Leo Kinnunen were on the Wyer payroll"), was brought in to help evaluate what might be needed. |
