Red Victor 3 is the latest in a line of cars named 'Red Victor' and is the brainchild of British mechanic Andy Frost (Autosports), creator and builder of Red Victor 1 and Red Victor 2. Built in conjunction with Wayne Allman, Jon Webster and Dale Edmonds and Darryl Coleman, the work on the car took three years, and it was completed in June 2012.
