REF. XXXXX • ab € 105.000,– 88 89 ALLARD MOTOR WORKS B r i a n R e d m a n : New Entry in Hall of Fame On April 14th, legendary race car driver, Brian Redman, was inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame. At the induction ceremony, the veteran racer was presented by the founder of the Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, Bill Warner. The induction of Brian Redman is well-deserved as he has been a long-time consistent competitive racer in many categories of performance racing. His accomplishments on the track are stellar: • four International Championship of Makes titles (1968, 1969, 1970 and 1972) • three-straight F5000 Championships (’74, ’75, ’76) • 1998 IMSA GTP Championship • 1st - Targa Florio (1970) • 1st – 24-Hours of Daytona (’70, ’76, ’81) • 1st – Nurburgring 1000 km (’69, ’73) • 1st – Spa 1,000 km (’68, ’69, ’70, ’72) • 1st – 12-Hours of Sebring (’75, ’78) st Former Allard Motor Company engineer, David Hooper • 1 – IMSA GTP - Miami GP ’84 and Road Atlanta ‘85 and Brian Redman at Amelia Island Concours. Redman has the distinction of successfully racing on many tracks, in many racing series and types of cars. He competed in Formula racing, open-wheelers, Can-AM, IMSA and FIA. He drove for a number of factory teams, such as Aston-Martin, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Jaguar and Porsche. Despite three major accidents in his career (Belgian GP, Sicily and Montreal), the 74-year old Redman still competes in a half-dozen vintage races per year. In 2009, the veteran driver took a British Racing Green, Hemi-powered Allard J2X MkII to the track for the VRG-sponsored Jefferson 500 vintage race weekend. The event’s Honorary Chairman did pace & safety car duties for the weekend with the J2X MkII, accompanied by Allard Motor Works’ founder, Roger Allard, doing radio control duties for the start of each event. “What a delight to drive,” commented Redman at the wheel of the new roadster. “It’s tight, responsive, well balance and has torque to spare. Well done Roger!” ALLARD MOTOR WORKS Brian REdman: Profile Brian Redman’s racing career began in 1959 at the age of 22 behind the wheel of a Morris 1000 Traveller Woody! From these humble beginings, the young Brit did not waste much time moving up the ladder to- wards the top step of many podiums thereafter. His talent and tenacity was soon rec- Morris 1000 Traveller Woody ognized and rewarded with more ‘dignified’ mounts. Today, few drivers can claim to have successfully run as many marques and types of races as Brian. Brian Redman in his airbourne Porsche 908/3 Redman was very successful in sportscar racing and the World Sportscar Championship, winning the 1970 Targa Florio with a Porsche 908/3 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. Redman drove for Shadow Racing Cars both in CanAm and in Formula One. He also raced in McLarens, Coopers and Alfa Ro- meo cars. He dominated North American Formula 5000 racing in the mid-1970s winning the SCCA/USAC Formula 5000 Champi- onship three years in a row (1974–1976) driving Lolas.
