At long last Brian Redman joins the list of notable British racing drivers whose racing life has been put on record in book form. 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 enjoyed by this popular and highly respected driver’s legions of fans.

Five themed chapters about Redman’s experiences at the greatest circuits and races of his era: Spa-Francorchamps, the Nürburgring, the Targa Florio, Le Mans and Daytona.
Diving deep into Redman’s fears, friendships and mindset during his time at the top.
Spa-Francorchamps: Redman won at this daunting track in four consecutive appearances in 1,000Kms races for sports cars, but was also injured in the first of his three big crashes, in the 1968 Belgian Grand Prix.
The Nürburgring: two big sports car wins with his greatest driving partners, Jo Siffert and Jacky Ickx.
The Targa Florio: in 1970 Redman won this heroic race over the uniquely punishing 45-mile circuit in Sicily – and suffered severe burns in another big crash the following year.
Le Mans: he led France’s 24-hour classic five times but never won it.
Daytona: the world’s other great 24-hour race, in Florida, brought three wins – in 1970, 1976 and 1981.
Stories about driving for Porsche, Ferrari and colourful privateers, plus anecdotes about the era’s most famous drivers, managers, heroes and rascals.
Successes in Formula 5000 (three-times champion in the USA) and 2-litre sports cars (South African champion) complete Redman’s credentials as one of the finest all-rounders in motor racing.
Mario Andretti provides an insightful foreword: Redman and he were team-mates in Ferrari’s sports car team (1972–73) and the top drivers in North American Formula 5000 (1974–75).

Description

The authorised biography of one of the best-liked 'bad boys' in British motorsport, John Chatham – driver, racer, repairer, rebuilder, tuner, trader and lover of Austin-Healeys.
With 150 photographs, many previously unpublished, this is an important and entertaining account of one of motorsport’s biggest characters.
Synopsis

This is the authorised biography of one of the best-liked bad boys in British motorsport. John Chatham, driver, racer, repairer, rebuilder, tuner, trader and lover of Austin-Healeys, was in the words of Geoffrey Healey “uncontrollable” in his youth, and has only mildly mellowed with age. Burly and genial but formidably competitive, and not above bending the rules when he thought he could get away with it, to many he is the archetypal club racer. John is so synonymous with Austin-Healeys that the most famous racing Healey in the world, DD300, is so well-known mainly because John campaigned it for decades, notching up tens of thousands of racing miles. But his career embraces far more than one car, and until this biography no-one had attempted to fill in the gaps.

The book is not a dry description of one club race after another. It does include a list of John’s principal sporting achievements, but no complete record exists of the hundreds of events which made up his competitive career, so the writer has not attempted to compile one. Instead Norman Burr, who was himself acquainted with John in his youth, has created a more rounded and personal account, full of motoring and sporting anecdotes, but also telling the story of John’s family, his work, his business, his three wives and his lovers. John has a comprehensive photo library from which the book is generously illustrated, with cartoons added to illustrate some of the moments that a camera was not around to record. Thoroughly politically incorrect even by the standards of the 1960s, it’s an account which will strike a chord not only with admirers of Big Healeys, but also with anyone who believes that independent thinking, and the courage to apply and enjoy it, is the greatest virtue of all.

He has raced and rallied with great success, starting in 1957. He has had a life full of adventure, excitement, success and a few bumps. This is his story. When discussing the title for this book, he said: 'Should we call it 'Whizzo' the first 50 years?' Still racing with as much speed and determination as ever, he is currently president of the British Motorsport Marshals' Club.



"I've raced every year, I've never stopped racing," said Barrie. "I don't know what I'd do without racing. I don't know what else to do. It's my way of life. I'll drive anything with four wheels. I race to win, but if I don't it's not the end of the world. With a bit of luck, there's always another race."



This book, which includes 200 photos - many never published before - attempts to capture the successes, the failures, the adventures, the people, the places and the laughs that have made for a remarkable five decades.

Foyt. Mario Andretti, Rick Mears, Al Unser Jnr. Emerson Fittipaldi, Nigel Mansell, and Alex Zanardi, whose life he helped to save after his horrific accident in Germany in 2001

Along the way, he introduces many of the characters, geniuses, good guys, and bad guys that he has encountered, as arguably the world's most dangerous sport has been transformed into the still spectacular and markedly competitive - albeit much less dangerous - activity that it is today. Death and serious injury still lurk at each and every venue, but racing drivers can now expect to survive through their careers. Many individuals have combined their efforts, intellects, and desires to make this happen, and in Rapid Response the author sets out his story of how it all transpired. Honored with a Foreword by Alex Zanardi and an Afterword by Professor Sid Watkins, this book is a captivating read for all fans of motor racing.

Born in the 1880s, he experienced and was involved in the earliest days of motoring and motorcycling before going off to the First World War in 1914. Though injured, he survived the War and in 1919 joined the staff of The Autocar. Under the pen name "Casque" he was to be the magazine's Sports Editor until 1950.

In the 1920s he earned a reputation as a particularly fast, reliable and intelligent driver in competition, showing a profound sympathy with and understanding of machinery. He drove Alfa Romeo, Alvis, Aston Martin, Austin, Lea Francis and many other cars at Brooklands and all the motor racing venues of the day. This activity, along with journalism, continued into the 1950s, when he also entered a number of major international rallies. When hostilities broke out again in 1939, though now in his 50s and officially far too old to enlist, he was able to wangle his way into to war, and served through to 1945. In fact his forces career, covering both World Wars, included service in the army, the navy and the air force - a rare distinction.

Racing driver, journalist, artist and raconteur, he was one of the founders of the Veteran Car Club and - rare for an Englishman - was awarded Citizenship of Le Mans.

This is his last autobiography, crowning the two volumes of his experiences that were published in 1932 and 1949. It was drafted in the 1960s, when he was in his 80s, but was never published. Now pieced together and edited, it tells the story of his whole life, from childhood to old age, with reminiscences of family, marriage, friends, colleagues and fellow racing drivers as well as stories from his long and illustrious driving career. His son Colin has contributed a brief memoir of his father.

More than 140 photographs, many never previously published, shed further light on this unique personality.
