Glenn Seton joins TRRTA
We're excited to announce that TRRTA have secured Glenn Seton to race Mustang "Jenny" in the upcoming TCM season.
in brief Glenn has won the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1993 and 1997 while driving for his own team, he's started from pole position at Bathurst in 1994 and 1996, and finished second three times. He came close to winning the race in 1995, holding a significant lead in the closing stages, but his engine failed 9 laps from the finish.
Glenn retired from full-time racing after the 2005 V8 Supercar season, and is only one of five drivers to have competed in over 200 rounds in the series. The other drivers are Dick Johnson (202), John Bowe (225), Mark Skaife (214) and Peter Brock (212). In the past he has run his own team for a number of years. He has usually raced Fords and Nissan's in the Australian Touring Car Championship since making his debut in his dad's Ford Capri in the 1984 ATCC. Glenn continued to race in the V8 Supercar series part-time up to 2010 as a co-driver in the enduros. Glenn has also made the occasional appearance in the TCM series, having won Race 3 at Bathurst in 2011.
We had a successful test session with TRRTA at Winton in December, allowing us to prepare for the Trans-Tasman Challenge in New Zealand at Highlands Motorsport Park at the end of January (Highlands Festival Of Speed) and from there discussions have continued allowing "an offer that couldn't be refused" to be finalised.
