YRC to run Phil Glew in SEAT with NGTC engine

By

Phil Glew is going to take part in the British Touring Car Championship race at Silverstone in a SEAT León with NGTC engine for the team YourRacingCar.com.
“I’m over the moon to be asked to be part of the YRC team and I can’t wait to do my very best to deliver the results you deserve for all the support you’ve shown,” said Glew.

“Although there’s a lot less pressure on me to deliver results on track due to the new engine and new package, I do feel a massive responsibility to deliver a good weekend for everyone involved due to all the hard work which has gone into the organisation of this from YRC’s end!” said Glew.

This is the first time a NGTC engine is fitted in another car than the Vauxhall Vectra and Glew is excited ahead of the race.

“I also have a responsibility to develop the new engine and chassis which I am very excited about as I’ll be working very hard with my fantastic engineer to make this work!” said Glew.

Glew took part in the BTCC premiere at Thruxton earlier this year for Triple Eight, finishing sixth in his first ever BTCC race.

YourRacingCar has agreed a deal with Special Tuning UK which will see it field a SEAT Leon in the colours of YRC at Silverstone.
