Join us as we follow the journey of Ste Sewell, a dedicated racer who had a standout 2024 season, taking multiple podiums and clinching the Wirral 100 Lightweight Championship.

He also secured second place in the Oliver's Mount CB500 Championship, narrowly missing the top spot.

From starting out in 2018 to making his national road racing debut in 2023, Ste now faces his biggest challenge yet; the iconic Isle of Man Mountain Course.

He’s set to make his debut at the Classic TT 2025 in the Lightweight class, riding an NC30 Honda.

With deep family roots in motorcycling, from his grandad’s days as a wartime dispatch rider to a fiancé and daughter equally hooked on bikes - racing isn’t just a passion, it’s part of the family DNA.

As we continue our focus on newcomers for Manx Grand Prix 2025, today’s guest is Craig Kenelly, a rider who’s been making waves on the roads after years of high-level short circuit racing.

Since 2014, Craig has competed in BSB Superstock, Supersport, and the Ducati Cup, bringing a wealth of experience with him as he transitions to road racing.

He made his road race debut at the North West 200 in 2024, and returned in 2025 despite a huge crash just six weeks earlier in Portimão, where he suffered multiple complex fractures after a 100mph high-side.

Craig is now gearing up for his first appearance on the Mountain Course at the MGP this year, where he’ll be riding in the Supersport and Senior races for Ian Lougher’s ILR Racing team.

He’s also currently showed great form at his first Southern 100, where he took a third-place finish, an impressive podium in his first year at the event.

You can find Craig's Facebook page here and his racing page on Instagram here.

On the podcast today, we’re joined by one of the standout names in road racing Jamie Williams.

He's a hugely experienced and well-known rider from the Isle of Man who’ll be running the coveted No. 1 plate in both the Supersport and Senior races at the 2025 Manx Grand Prix.

A podium finisher in previous years and a consistent front-runner, Jamie’s chasing that long-awaited first MGP win after a difficult 2024.

A former Andreas Racing Association rider who got his start at Jurby back in 2013, Jamie has also found success in Ireland, the IRRC, and on Belgian roads — where he’s currently leading the championship.

A regular at the Southern 100, he was one of those who guided this year’s newcomers on their opening laps.

With serious pace, top-tier sponsors behind him, and unfinished business at the Manx, Jamie’s 2025 campaign is one to watch.

The guest in this episode of Journey to a Dream is Sam Naughton, who speaks to us just weeks before his first ever Manx Grand Prix.

He's no stranger to road racing on the Isle of Man though, he lives in Castletown and has raced on the Billown course in both the Pre-TT, where's he stood on the podium, and the Southern 100 - which he's preparing to do again this year.

Sam gives us a real insight into what's it like juggling family life with four children, racing and work as well.

We also learn that his wife Charlotte is incredibly understanding and patient and that if you pop round to his house, you might get more than sugar in your brew...

You can follow's Sam's progress on his Facebook page here.

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.

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.
