A native of Laxey, he served in the Parachute Regiment and completed three tours in Afghanistan.[1][2] He won the Newcomers Manx Grand Prix in 2014 and the Junior Manx Grand Prix a year later.[1][3]
On 17 April 2016 he was involved in an accident at the Oliver's Mount Spring Cup in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.[3] He was taken by ambulance to Scarborough hospital then airlifted to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough.[1] He died aged 25, with his family around him and on his second anniversary with partner Hannah Wright, who said that he had died doing what he loved.[1] His brain injuries were too severe for him to recover, and his partner and family made a decision for his life support to be switched off and his organs donated.[3]
Redmayne was due to debut at the Isle of Man TT in the summer of 2016.[1]
