also
became

Jim Redman
scored no less then six World Championship titles during his motorcycle roadracing career. As a young man, he emigrated from
England
to
Zimbabwe
, then known as
Rhodesia
, where he began his racing career. He earned a factory ride with Honda for the 1960 season. He would go on to claim four consecutive 350cc World Championships from 1962 to
1965. In
1962 and 1963 he claimed double championships winning both the 250cc and 350cc World Championships. In 1964, he became the second rider rider to claim 3 Grand Prix victories in one day (the first being Mike Hailwood at the 1963 East German Grand Prix) when he won 3 classes at the Dutch TT. After being injured at the 1966 Belgian Grand Prix, Redman made the decision to retire. Redman was also a six time Isle of Man TT winner, taking double wins in 1963, 1964 and

the Lightweight & Junior TT Races. He achieved a total of 45 Grand Prix victories. Redman was awarded the MBE for his achievements.
