| Business woman/ British Power Boat Champion. Shelley Jory is one of the United Kingdom’s leading powerboat racers and the first female British champion in her field. Shelley, from Hampshire, runs a successful family bridal business - a far cry from the world of powerboat racing. The 2008 Season Powerboat driver Shelley has made history this year being the first women to compete in the Evolution class of Powerboat P1, the Formula 1 of power boat racing. Partnered by American Nigel Hook she has been racing in a 38 foot Mercury Powered Skater Powerboat sponsored by her long time sponsor, Raymarine and US company. Lucas Oil.Shelley entered this prestigious race series as a rookie but certainly not a novice! She has more than proved herself amongst her male competitors, with a second- and third-place finish in Italy and a final podium of Spain, earning her a sixth place in the World Championships. As a result, Shelley is already making plans to return to the class next year. Anyone who has come to know The Lady Racer -Shelley and her power boat racing career will know that she is looking for a world championship to add to her trophy cabinet and will not stop until she gets it. A classic example of Girl Power, she really is a woman in a mans world. It is no wonder that Honda included her in their Hondamentalist TV campaign; appearing on the ITV Formula One adverts. This website gives you a flavour of Shelley's racing and her passion for the sport. It's packed with information on her past racing career (huge crashes and all!) in the Profile section, information on current activities in News and the TV/Media pages should give you a good idea of when next to expect Shelley on TV or in the paper! You can also keep up-to-date on her progress and quest for sponsorship for the 2009 season - in the press release section and there are incredible photos in the images section of the past racing season - enjoy!
