Sileby Racer Joins top Touring Car Team

Recommended Posts

Team RAC have announced Stephen Jelley will partner Colin Turkington during the 2008 BTCC season.

Jelley, 23, had finished in third place in the British F3 championship last year with the Raikkonen Robertson Racing team.

Jelley and Turkington will be driving a pair of BMW320si E90 during the season.

"This was simply an opportunity too good to turn down," said Jelley. "I am very excited to be joining Team RAC in 2008 and am grateful for the chance to compete against some of the best drivers Britain has to offer.

"I intend to make the most of this opportunity and forge a good relationship with Colin and the rest of the team. I'll be doing my best to help Team RAC challenge for the championship."

Team RAC's Dick Bennetts added:: "Drivers as talented, intelligent and as willing to learn as Stephen are few and far between.

"We believe this is a coup for Team RAC and I am looking forward to working with Stephen in the months ahead. With Colin set to build on an impressive 2007 there's no reason why Team RAC can't be serious outright contenders in 2008."

This gives me a driver to support this season !

He's not the best, a consistent finisher though. He's getting slaughtered by his teammate in GP2 Asia. I'm only supporting him because he's from the same village as me.
