Toby began Karting with Russ Mead to help him overcome depression, give him a new focus and a chance to escape from dealing with fertility issues. In 2019 Toby started a campaign to raise awareness for fertility with the goal to end the stigma of fertility through motorsport and the same year he claimed his first podium at Donington Park. In 2022, Toby joined Porsche to compete in the Porsche Visit Cayman Island Sprint Challenge in the Pro category. He is continuing with SVG Motorsport taking the step on the Porsche Motorsport Pyramid. In 2023, Toby joins Redline Racing for season four of Racing For Fertility with the goal to attack the title for the top step.

In this episode Toby talks about his successful career as a racing driver and how this has been affected by his infertility. He wants to remove the stigma and taboo and get guys talking. After Toby was in a BBC documentary, in 2019 he started his campaign, Racing For Fertility, is to ensure everyone knows about male fertility and infertility. He loves it when he gets the commentators and the fans at the racetrack talking about fertility. Katie and Toby had two unsuccessful rounds of IVF before Toby was diagnosed with a varicocele – a large vein in the testes. Toby and Katie have a happy story, as they have a little boy conceived naturally after Toby had surgery. Next time the lads are in the pub – we would love them to talk about their balls, sperm, and fertility.
