British Supersport rider Jenny Tinmouth is struggling to put together enough cash to keep her Isle of Man TT debut dream alive this season while still competing on short circuits.

Jenny, who by her own admission is "crap at asking for help", has secured some backing from Pirelli for the island where she hopes to race in the Supersport and Superstock classes.

“I can’t belive we managed to make it through last season, we bought an
old Honda CBR600 as it was cheaper, and started the year with just a £3000
budget," she said.

"It’s amazing we made it through the whole year and managed to get seventh in the Supersport Cup in my first season on a four-stroke. This year, I am desperate to do well at the Isle of Man and NorthWest 200 but without some more support, I don't think it can be done.

I am unbelievably grateful to everyone who helped me along the way last year including CS2U and sorrymate.com, and especially Andy Sutherland who got me to the last four rounds and Mark from Hollins Strategic Land who helped me buy the bike at the start of the year."

Given Jenny's obvious pace on short circuits, she could quite easily take over the mantle of TT's fastest woman from Maria Costello. To contact her, click here.
