Josh is from Christchurch and loves all things racing. He originally started out in grass karts, before moving into a Toyota Starlet gravel car, and then built this Subaru for tarmac events. He has worked for well-known racing driver Trevor Crowe since he was a teenager, so has learnt most of his race-craft from him. When Josh isn’t behind the wheel you can usually find him in the pits or spectating at most local motorsport events.
