In this episode, we meet Lee Stanaway, who loves bikes, chess, his dog Milo, tea and of course his wife Gemma.

And it was Gemma who set Lee off on his journey to the Isle of Man, where he will race for the first time this year as a Manx Grand Prix newcomer.

He's a regular competitor at various circuits around the UK, competing at road races such as Oliver's Mount and Aberdare, often running the number 57.

Lee has a great team around him, but could still use some support ahead of the MGP, so if you'd like to have a chat, you can find his Facebook racing page here.

In this episode, we’re joined by one of the most experienced and respected names in sidecar racing, Greg Lambert.

From starting as a passenger for his Dad at Knockhill in 1988 to multiple TT podiums and championship wins around the world, Greg brings decades of insight and passion to the sport and the conversation.

Greg started the Greg Lambert Sidecar Racing School in 2022 to help develop the next generation of sidecar drivers and passengers in the UK, and in the past year, it's seen 17 people become competitors.

We talk here about the aspirations for the school, how it could hopefully find its way to the Isle of Man and how a title sponsor could really help take this all to the next level.

Joining Greg for the podcast is his racing partner Andy Haynes, a hugely successful passenger also known as The Racing Preacher, as well as James Hanks, the first driver to come through the Greg Lambert Sidecar Racing School who's set to take on his first road race very soon and who also has one eye on being a potential newcomer at TT 2026.

You won't miss Greg and Andy out on the course, and you won't want to miss this episode.

You can get in touch with the Greg Lambert Racing School here and keep up to date with how James is doing on his JHM Racing page.

In this episode, we’re joined by international road racer Rob Hodson, whose career has spanned the Manx Grand Prix, the Isle of Man TT, Oliver’s Mount, and beyond.

From a fourth place finish in his first race on the Mountain Course in 2012 to multiple podiums at the Manx and top-10 results at the TT, Rob has steadily built a reputation as one of the most consistent and committed riders on the road racing scene.

We talk here about his technical progression, the challenge of chasing 130mph lap times, the evolution of his machinery, and what’s ahead for SMT Racing in 2025.

Today’s guest is one of the most respected and consistent road racers on the international scene - Brian McCormack from Ireland.

Since making his Isle of Man TT debut in 2010, Brian has built a reputation as a determined, skilled, and passionate racer.

With 24 top-20 finishes, 14 top-15s, and 3 top-10s at the TT - Brian’s record speaks for itself.

Last year, racing for his own team, Roadhouse Macau, in 2024, Brian battled through injury and mechanical setbacks but still completed all seven solo races — no small feat on the world’s toughest course.

He also secured a 10th place finish in the Superbike TT and 13th in the Senior, despite recovering from a serious crash at Macau just months earlier.

Off the TT course, Brian is an 11-time motorcycle racing champion, a veteran of over 60 BSB races, and a fierce competitor at events like the North West 200, Ulster Grand Prix, and the Manx Grand Prix.

His career spans decades of racing experience — including a stint in rallycross — and his dedication has never wavered.

Looking ahead to 2025, Brian returns fitter and more focused than ever, with more pre-season track time under his belt and his sights set on another TT top 10 — and maybe even a personal best lap.

You can follow Brian on Instagram here.

Strap in for this episode because we’ve got a tale of grit, speed, and long awaited glory.

Daniel Ingham from Melton Mowbray achieved the dream he’d been chasing when he won the 2024 Senior Manx Grand Prix.

That victory wasn’t just luck—it was years in the making, a steady climb through the ranks and possibly a pork pie or two...

Daniel’s love affair with the Mountain Course started in 2016 when he lined up for the Class B Newcomers and the Lightweight race.

Fast forward to 2019, and he was flying and really turning heads, joining the legendary Tommy Club by lapping at over 120mph.

But Daniel doesn’t just keep it to the Island—he’s also been mixing it up on the Irish roads.

He bagged a win at Cookstown in 2023 and made his NW200 debut in 2024, grabbing 13th and 9th in the Supertwin races.

This year, he’s stepping back from the MGP to focus on other things - leaving us to wonder if we'll see him back here for 2026?

You can follow Daniel's racing journey here.

In this episode we’re delighted to welcome father-and-son duo Craig and Toby, two passionate and dedicated members of the Isle of Man racing community.

Craig is a highly experienced sidecar racer who competed in the Isle of Man TT from 2015 through to 2023, earning multiple top-20 finishes and achieving a career-best result in the 2019 Sidecar TT Race 1.

A recipient of the Sidecar Driver Newcomer Award in 2015, Craig has also enjoyed success in competitive series such as the British Formula 2 Cup and the Formula Sidecar Racing Association, alongside his long-time passenger Stuart Christian.

His contributions to the sport extend beyond racing, with Craig serving as an active and valued committee member of the Andreas Racing Association.

Since stepping away from sidecar competition, Craig has turned his focus to solo motorcycle racing, sharing the track with his 15-year-old son Toby, who is already showing great promise.

Toby earned his ACU licence through the ARA Race School and now races pit bikes, proudly following in his father’s footsteps.

Together, Craig and Toby represent both the rich heritage and the exciting future of motorcycle racing on the Island.

We’re thrilled to have them on the podcast to share their story, their passion, and their unique perspective as a racing family.
