Show notes

This week on Chasin' the Racin', Josh and Joe had the pleasure of chatting to New Zealander, Mitch Rees. He tells all from his early years in NZ, a roundup of his time in the UK and how racing the Isle of Man TT came to be. It was a special one for us as one a few years ago, Mitch's brother Damo was sat right in this seat. They reflected on losing Damo, Mitch's perspective and the legacy Damo's left and what that looks like through Mitch's racing now. Enjoy - CTR x
