Biography
Valle Mäkelä (born 2 February 1986, Laitila, Finland) is a Finnish motor racing driver.
Career
Mäkelä began his kart racing career at the age of five. In 2000 he became Finnish Champion in the ICA-J class.
He was the British Formula Ford champion in 2004, but a lack of funds left him struggling for drives in 2005. Rumours of a F3 drive came to nothing, and a few entries in the inaugural World Touring Car Championship season for GR Asia also came to nothing.
He raced in 2006 for Manor Motorsport in British Formula Renault. In 2007, he drove for NEXA Racing in the British Formula BMW Series, and came 4th in the championship with a single win at Brands Hatch.
