Redman Bright

Redman Bright Engineering was a British

2000 Sports Racing World Cup

for drivers and teams in their category. The team faded out after their 2001 campaign, eventually selling their equipment and being liquidated by the end of the year.

Racing history

Following his retirement from motorsport, Brian Redman was convinced by John Bright, who had been Redman's race engineer in various programs in the 1980s in the United States, to become involved in a new

British Formula Renault to their program, campaigning Venezuelan Juan José Font to fifth in the championship.^[2]

After being sued by the Cook family over their 1998 program,

Monza and Donington Park the team won the SR2 championship. Having succeeded in the lower SR2 category, Redman Bright moved to the top SR1 class in 2001 with the purchase of a Reynard-Judd

. Owen and Smithson graduated to the new car as well, scoring a best finish of fourth at Monza after a late pit stop for emergency repairs while leading the race scuttled a potential victory. The pair eventually finished the season in 19th place in the standings. Despite these efforts, the team went into receivership before the end of the year and the partnership came to a quick end, with all of the team's cars being sold to other teams.
