Startline Ep 6 - A dream without a plan is just a wish: George Anderson
In this episode of Startline, George Anderson takes us back to where it all began - watching the TT at the Crosby pub with his dad.
Inspired by Adrian Archibald’s victory in that race, he recalls the moment that first lit his passion for racing.
George reflects on how early memories can spark lifelong dreams on the road to the grid, as he aims for the Manx Grand Prix in 2026.
You can find George on Facebook here and the George Anderson Racing page here.
We also catch up again with Adrian O'Connor to find out how it went when he picked up the bike he's hoping to race at the Classic TT in 2026.
Adrian's Gracie Quinn Racing page is here.
