Supercars TV presenter Jess Yates has announced an exciting new venture, with the launch of a new children's picture book.
Announced Thursday, Yates has partnered with Scholastic Australia to launch her new book, Let’s Go Racing, which will hit shelves on September 1.
Yates has skippered Supercars broadcasts since 2015, and has almost two decades of live television experience. She won the Supercars Media Award in 2016.
Beyond Supercars, Yates has also led Fox Sports' NRL coverage, and has experience in several sports and major events.
“I am thrilled to be releasing my first children’s book Let’s Go Racing bringing to life the excitement of the racetrack, an environment I’ve been part of now for over a decade," Yates said.
"I wrote this story for my children who love car racing so they could feel part of the action too. My son Sam loves to be the driver and loves winning and doing burnouts!
"I hope families love reading this story together and it inspires them to go racing whether that’s behind the wheel, in the pit lane or cheering on the drivers as fans on the sideline.”
Let’s Go Racing invites young racers aged three and up to dive into the excitement of race day — from the roar of engines to the thrill of crossing the finish line.
Yates will lead this weekend's coverage of the Century Batteries Ipswich Super 440.
