Friday favourite: The original Le Mans master that wowed Redman
Jacky Ickx and Brian Redman formed a legendary partnership in motorsport, starting with their victory at the Kyalami 9 Hours in 1967. Redman considers Ickx as his most influential teammate, despite later partnering with Jo Siffert at Porsche. Their success continued in 1968 when they won the BOAC 500 at Brands Hatch and the Spa 1000Km. One of Redman’s fondest memories is witnessing Ickx’s exceptional first lap at Spa in the rain, where he left the competition far behind. They also had victories together at Ferrari in the early ’70s. Although their Le Mans outings in 1973 and 1979 ended in retirement, they maintain a strong friendship and occasionally reunite at historic racing events.
