Who is Glenn Seton?

Glenn Seton is an Australian racing driver. He won the Australian Touring Car Championship in 1993 and 1997 while driving for his own team. Although he never won the Bathurst 1000 like his father Bo Seton did in 1965, Glenn has started from pole position in 1994 and 1996, and finished second three times. He came close to winning the race in 1995 but his engine failed 9 laps from the finish.

Seton, father of Courtney and Aaron Seton and husband to Jayne Seton, 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, John Bowe, Mark Skaife and Peter Brock. In the past he has run his own team for a number of years. He has usually raced Fords in the Australian Touring Car Championship since 1984.

He raced for his father's team, in 1983 driving a Ford Capri, then Nissan Motorsports from 1984 to 1988, driving first in a Nissan Pulsar Exa and then a Nissan Skyline. He then drove for his own Glenn Seton Racing from 1989 to 2002, before selling the team to Prodrive and was changed to Ford Performance Racing, which he spent two years driving for. After leaving the team he created he found a drive with Dick Johnson Racing in 2005. In late 2005 after a disappointing season, Seton was sacked from Dick Johnson Racing halfway through his two year contract.
