Today’s guest is Harry Payne, a racer with speed in his veins.

Coming from a true racing family, Harry moved to the Isle of Man in 2016 to chase his dream on the legendary Mountain Course.

He started as a sidecar passenger, teaming up with icons like Dave Molyneux, before making the switch to the driver’s seat—a move that proved to be a game-changer.

Harry’s journey has been nothing short of incredible and in 2024, alongside Kevin Rousseau, he clinched the FIM Sidecar World Championship in a nail-biting season finale.

Now, as he gears up to defend that title in 2025, we get the inside story on the highs, the challenges, and the passion that drives him forward.
