July 15, 2021 Podcast: Brian Redman | Porsche’s winning formula

Podcast: Brian Redman | Porsche’s winning formula

Much of Brian Redman’s endurance legend was forged at the wheel of Porsche’s greatest machines.

The self-effacing Lancastrian won the Spa 1000Km four times, took three victories at the Daytona 24 Hours and has a brace of Sebring and Nürburgring overall winner trophies.

Redman joins us to give more insight into Porsche’s winning formula, recalling how his impressive early privateer appearances got him a seat at the works team, his experience of being a team-mate to Jo Siffert and Pedro Rodriguez and what it was like to drive for a brand in relentless pursuit of performance.

He also compares Stuttgart with his other famous employer – Ferrari – and explains why Porsche engineers told him he was their “favourite driver”.

Blurred Pit Lane Lines

It’s the second Austrian Grand Prix – and the fourth in a year – and it was nowhere near as bad as last week’s, even if Max Verstappen waltzed off to victory with no challengers.

It was all action behind though; Cheeka, Phill and Terry talk about harsh penalties, shouty radio messages and new contracts, among other unrelated nonsense.

Episode #309: Choccy Milk (IndyCar Detroit Grand Prix)

An IndyCar special episode on the Infamous Dual in Detroit, with a shock winner in Race 1 as… *checks notes* Marcus Ericsson gave us IndyCar’s FOURTH new winner in 2021 after the cruelty of Will Power’s engine failing to restart on the final sprint.

We also had Pato O’Ward come from 6th to 1st with 6 laps to go in Race 2 as Josef Newgarden had to drive over the limit on his tyres in order to survive and just ran out of road in the process.

We also talk Jimmie Johnson getting criticism on Social Media, and his place in the series. Kinda hard to ignore it at this point with his constant struggles, combined with his team at Chip Ganassi Racing all winning races at points throughout the season? Is he justified to be there, or does his presence mean more than that in the series?

Podcast: Jochen Mass | Porsche’s winning formula

If anyone knows Porsche’s winning formula, it’s Jochen Mass.

For more than a decade, he raced sports cars with the factory team, competing in seven Le Mans 24 Hour races and winning multiple world championship races.

Mass joins us for the first in our new podcast series, recalling his early days with the outfit, when the Porsche Development Centre consisted mainly of wooden sheds; and the development of the 956 and 962 with the legendary engineer, Norbert Singer.

He describes the fearsome concentration needed to drive the Nürburgring in a Group C sports car; working with team-mates including Stefan Bellof and Bobby Rahal, and explains why Porsche’s IndyCar never achieved its potential.

He’s frank, funny and doesn’t pull his punches. Sit back and enjoy.
