Autojack sponsored motorcycle racer Jamie’s following in the families tyre tracks.

A teenage racer is dreaming of motorcycle glory, as she proudly maintains a family tradition that spans more than six decades.

Jamie Hanks-Elliott, 17, from Erdington, Birmingham, is building a track reputation she hopes will carry her into the British Superbikes competition.

Members of the Hanks family have been motorcycle racers since the 1950s and have a long association with the Isle of Man TT event.

Jamie’s grandmother Rose was a sidecar racer and the first woman to appear on the podium, in 1968.

Grandad Roy, mum Julie and dad Paul also enjoyed successful sidecar racing careers, although Jamie’s preference is for two wheels.
