Today’s guest quite possibly could’ve learnt to drive before he walked…

Third generation driver Jono Lester hails from mighty Palmerston North and was born and raised at the Manfield circuit - set up and operated by his family. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather, father and aunty. It’s like he has petrol in his veins!

It's fascinating hearing about the highs and lows of his career thus far, and what he's learnt along the way.

Hear about how happy he is back racing home with FHK Racing - the New Zealand GT racing team - and their grand plans!

Fun facts: he had his first crash when he was nine, and he's also an ultra marathon runner.

Welcome to Kiwi Yarns - those yarns you have where you sit down, put the kettle on, pour a whiskey or crack open a beer I honestly don‘t mind. Anyway! We‘re sitting down and we’re yarning to some great New Zealanders, their back stories, their front stories, even stories where they went sideways, we will go there. It’s a place where we celebrate the great people of this glorious nation.
