Stephen Jelley remained well inside the top ten in the Kwik Fit British Touring Car Championship Standings as the Team BMW driver secured a third-place finish at Knockhill. Earlier in the day, Jelley had fought back well from disappointment in qualifying, which saw him starting 14th on the grid for race one. “Race one we basically kept out of trouble, I kept my nose clean and made a few places up,” said Jelley. I thought ‘he’s got me here, if I turn in, I’m gone.’ I had to sort of concede and then Plato got through as well, so I lost two positions, but then got into the battle with that train of cars. I was very aware that we were open to a big move at the hairpin, so I was quite defensive, but held it quite well.
