British sports car legend Brian Redman is the latest online driving instructor for SAFEisFAST.com.

Redman was one of the leading sports car racers of his generation, winning the 1970 Targa Florio, the 12 Hours of Sebring (twice) and the Daytona 24 Hours (three times). But he also demonstrated considerable talent in single-seaters, particularly in Formula 5000 in America, where he defeated racing rival Mario Andretti on numerous occasions, taking the series championship in 1974, '75 and '76.

Redman had a short spell in F1, competing in 12 grands prix between 1968 and 1974. He achieved a third place podium in his first ever F1 race, and went on to finish an impressive fifth in the rain at the 1972 Monaco GP, demonstrating his talent at the top level.

Redman has recently published his racing autobiography, entitled 'Brian Redman: Daring Drivers, Deadly Tracks'. The 300-page book, published by Evro Publishing, covers the 1965-1975 seasons and offers a riveting account of Redman's racing career.
