Darren Turner | The Parc Fermé Downshift Podcast

If you are a regular listener, you'll know that Paul Charsley works for the Heart of Racing team in IMSA racing the immaculate Aston Martin car. As the Sporting Manager, Paul is steeped in all things racing and one fo the benefits is his access to the drivers and paddock of the IMSA series.
As we speak, the 24 Hours of Dayton is starting and here is a very nice interview with a fantastic driver for the #23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin, Darren Turner. Darren didn't start our racing Aston Martins, he was an open-wheel guy and you'll love the stories of how he got in to racing back in the UK and his approach to his race craft in sports cars.
