Journey to a Dream - Craig and Toby Melvin

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.
