Brian's having a great time driving at 8/10. Racing these gentlemen drivers, he's like a shark among minnows. Once a racer, always a racer.

What a privilege to get to see the Targa Florio winning car driven at speed.. Love it.

[@larrycurrence6874]

Not the Targa Florio winning car but similar. The #12 non finned 903/3 won in 1970, driven by Siffert/Redman.

Brian redman taking it much more seriously than anyone here 👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀 Oh I would love to drive that car… it and the 906 are my favorite Porsche racers ! Small light nimble, Piechs first was the 906… Imagine an onboard of the temporary targa florio that this participated in !! Ahhh - through all the small villages, on the narrow Italian roads. Much more dangerous but so great !!

[@motocrossriders2002]

I like how he made the pass just before pulling into the pits. He was very smooth and way faster than everyone else...

[@ericrhinehart722]

NICE!!! Brain Redman still killing it!!! I wish I was driving that 908/3

[@tomatodiane]

My favorite driver at one of my favorite tracks!

[@aureliobrighton1871]

Brian Redman carving the Crestarun on his Porsche Skeleton. He makes (talks) his wheel efforts looking so easy. His finned Gulf mouse sounding and looking simply epic. My friendliest regards to Seppi up there. Thankyou 💐:)

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Agreed. Amazing run and glad you enjoyed it!

[@jimmorris8021]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I was fortunate to see Brian Redman race in F5000 in the 70's and win against future World Champions Jody Scheckter and Mario Andretti.

[@fw1421]

Brian has always been one of my favorite drivers,a real smooth racer and wonderful narrator. He’s really very calm while talking and driving. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@billkeller3083]

That has to be the most fun to drive!!! One of my favorite sounding motors !!!

[@michaelslack5269]

Thank you Brian.

[@stenovitz]

Why can I give only 1 thumbs up? Best onboard commentary I've ever witnessed. And then the winner by the wheel of the two races I've admired the most since childhoold in 70ies. I was born in the wrong era. But God bless!

[@Erougel]

This flat 8 sounds as good as Mr Redman stays a great pilot. Thanks for this video.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Agreed! Thanks for watching. The car will be at this year's Monterey Pre-Reunion and Reunion.

[@NEtrailrider1]

Someones having lots of fun engine sounds fantastic thanks for posting

[@FeeeshEP3]

absolutely fantastic! thank you for sharing :) i can only imagine what this must have felt like on the nürburgring

[@BossaNossa1]

Exhilarating and life threatening at the same moment!!! :)

[@malcolmshaw2609]

The masterful Mr Redman at play.

[@vb917]

Very well done Brian - You and Jo were my favourite driver-team ever

[@stefan64s]

..the essence of a race car.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Without a doubt

[@thethirdman225]

Siffert/Redman... what a combination that must have been.

[@Vic-E.]

What a car. And what a driver...

[@archibaldchimpin]

Brian redman still giving it the welly, fantastic.

[@gerdittner1303]

Well done, Mr. Redman! Phantastic car and driver.

[@petersmith2379]

What an achiever this combo were...

[@3267ok]

Absolute Magic ..safe steady hands.👍

[@jurgenblick5491]

Pure racing

[@fastsandpops]

Fantastic video! Awesome car!

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Thanks very much Matthew!

[@majormarshall588]

Porsche has a unique sound.

[@MP-lz1xb]

Perfect for pick up children from school and go shopping.

[@artysanmobile]

End of an era, the flyweight Porsche.

[@Trucker1957]

Brian, Thanks for sharing ,what a thrill! Did you follow/race Trans AM racing in the 60's and 70's? My grandfather took me to Bryar Motorsports Park in 1969 to a Trans AM race and I've been a sports car fan ever since.

[@cserohs]

Makes me want to get back on a track again !!

[@76-UVB]

Racer vs steering wheel holders

[@thethirdman225]

Is there some reason he's not wearing a HANS device?

[@RIPPERTON]

Well fuck that guy can drive

[@markushalbheer2736]

Siifert / Redman

[@Herman-zc7te]

Just awesome

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Thanks Sameer! Glad you enjoy the video!

[@bere5de]

Porsche should bring that dashboard back... it looks really sexy

[@benjohnson2554]

Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Thanks Ben for you comment!

[@davidcoggins8891]

I would like to see one of these at the Mitty

[@BobGeogeo]

Brian sounds so happy at the end. The 908/3 makes Laguna Seca have maybe 5 real corners and some bends in the straights.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

Agreed. It's nimbleness makes it a much better fit than the 917's.

[@BobGeogeo]

@@checkeredflagfilms I think he passed a 917 near the middle, but we're talking Brian Redman here.. He's such a gentleman, too (from a couple of brief encounters at Lime Rock).

[@larryepperly4172]

After 3 laps, where did everyone go.

[@76-UVB]

Gone to file a protest with the stewards because somebody had the gall to pass them. as is usual in American historic racing.

[@marshallmajor4971]

Wonderful only there's a rattle at high rpms masking that lovely sound.

[@checkeredflagfilms]

that's magnetic interference from the cars unshielded ignition system.

[@JB91710]

I spent 10 years building a Porsche 917/10 Can Am car so I could experience just what he is and I won't be able to drive it!!!

[@miketheburgermoore4992]

why not???

[@jacquesblaque7728]

Clearly, some observers (w/ blue-flags) were required on the course, with all the sunday-drivers puttering about. They'd have been scared poo-less if Brian was pushing it. Or gone whimpering into the paddock.

[@salongoedmondmpungu2928]

I've just watched the video and I swear, I'm sexually frightened right now. This car is insane!

[@francescofedostiani970]

😅😅😅a professional driver among amateurs 😅😅😅😅
