Last month I wrote about how for the past 14 months I had been ‘Living the Legend’ by not only enjoying my 997.2 GT3 RS and 991.1 GT3, but also I’d been Living the Legend in another way, by interviewing Porsche great Vic Elford for Total 911’s Guest Column for 14 issues.

If you are a long-time reader of Total 911, you may recall previous to my

interviews with the man known as Quick Vic, I interviewed American driver and another Porsche hero, Hurley Haywood for the guest column for eight months. Hurley’s many achievements included winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans three times, victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona a record five times and capturing three wins at the 12 Hours of Sebring.

Both Hurley and Vic had enormous success with Porsche. They both stated how they thoroughly enjoyed sharing with Total 911 readers so many experiences in their careers, which included moments of sheer triumph and bitter disappointment. They also gave us terrific insight into their wonderful personalities which undoubtedly was a critical ingredient in their unparalleled achievements in their Porsche careers.

While I felt quite sad when my wonderful conversations with Vic Elford came to an end, I have some fantastic news to share with Total 911 readers… I am excited to reveal that I have already begun interviewing another Porsche racing legend to feature in the Total 911 Guest Column. The one and only racing driver Brian

Redman is looking forward to sharing his memoirs with Total 911. Brian, who was born in Lancashire on 9 March 1937, raced during an extraordinarily dangerous era. Between 1965 and 1975 one in three top-level racing drivers were killed. Two of those included famous Porsche drivers and Brian’s teammates, Jo “Seppi” Siffert and Pedro Rodriguez. The many deaths that took place very much affected Brian as he often worried he too would be killed.

Brian has so much to share including what it was like winning the 1970 Targa Florio with teammate Jo Siffert in the Porsche 908/3 painted in JW Gulf Racing Livery. He describes in extraordinary detail the terrible fiery crash at the Targa in 1971. He discusses what occurred to cause his 908/3 to crash and burst into flames with him inside also on fire, and desperately trying to get out.

Brian Redman is one of Porsche’s greatest ever drivers. I’m absolutely thrilled to work with him as he looks back on his remarkable life and career. Be on the lookout for Brian Redman’s Guest Column. It’s a Total 911 mini-series you won’t want to miss, starting this very issue!
