Stephen Jelley will partner Colin Turkington in the 2008 BTCC after being signed to the team following an impressive stint in British Formula Three. Jelley will have several hurdles to overcome first, not least in the switch from F3 single-seater racing to the tin-tops of the touring car world. In single-seater racing Jelley has already made a name for himself, even contesting the GP2 Asia Series in early 2008, at the same time as he just begins his tin top career. | ||||

In the British Formula Three Championship in 2007 Jelley put in impressive performances that saw him finish third overall in the championship, taking two wins, ten podiums and scooping the Spencer Charrington Trophy for the highest placed British driver in the championship. With such a pedigree of racing, Jelley is looking forward to acquanting himself the the UK's top racing series with the experienced West Surrey Racing team and seasoned team mate Colin Turkington. | ||||
