Glenn has made numerous podium visits, 53 in total, and 17 victories. He has wrapped up the Series championship 14 times in the top ten. In his time he has set a top V8 Touring Car speed at Mt. Panorama, claimed a Bathurst pole position and 3 podiums, been a national endurance champion and collected the champions wreath 2 times (winning the inaugural V8 Championship in 1993 and the 1997 season).
Glenn came runner up in the 1980 & 1981 Australian Junior Karting Championship. He debuted in the Touring Car Championship at the long defunct Surfers Paradise track in 1984 in his fathers Ford Capri.
In 1986 he went on to join the Nissan works team, the team was run by Gibson Motorsport. Fred Gibson would go on to say in a Wheel's article in 1999 that he had great respect for two modern era drivers; Glenn Seton and Craig Lowndes and went on to say the two would make a dream partnership at Bathurst. He wasn't wrong.
Between 1986 & 1988 Glenn went on to claim a second the at 1987 Mt. Panorama and runners up during the 1987 championship. However Glenn wasn't to stand at the top of the podium that year at Mt. Panorama, he inherited the position following the disqualification of the Texaco Sierras.
1989 at the age of 23, Glenn stole Peter Jackson sponsership from Gibson and Nissan and along with Barry Seton as engineer Glenn Seton Racing was set up with Ford Sierras. In the debut year of GSR, Glenn finished 7th and 7th again in 1990.
In 1990 Seton won the Australian Endurance Championship with a win at the Sandown 500 and runners up at Eastern Creek. He also took out the Group A support race at the Australian Grand Prix in Adelaide.
1992 Glenn Seton setup ownership of the Winfield Triple Challenge at Eastern Creek, his reign ended following his last victory in 1994.
Still racing the Sierra for the Championship, Seton swapped over to a GSR prepared V8 Falcon for the endurance rounds. This early move gave Glenn the edge he needed when the series changed to local rules in 1993 ceasing the domination of Group A. He went on to claim his first championship crown in the GSR V8 Falcon.
In 1994 he came runner up in the championship and placed his Falcon on pole position at Mt. Panorama.
1995 witnessed yet another runners up position in the championship to then DJR pilot John Bowe. Disaster struck at Bathurst whilst leading the race.
Glenn Seton lost tobacco sponsership as Peter Jackson withdrew sponsership, however Ford Credit came aboard to support Glenn in his 1996 championship assualt. Glenn managed a pole at Mt. Panorama.
1997 gave Glenn a second champioship crown. However it didn't come easily, 4 points ahead of John Bowe and 22 ahead of Russell Ingall made for a nail biting finish at Oran Park. Thanks to a below par drive from John Bowe and Russell Ingall tangling with a back marker and a strong drive from Seto the top spot was his. This was the last time a single car owner/driver team would take out a championship.
1998 was a mixed bag for Seto, taking on a second car late in the season. Seton was to find Bathurst hard to master for yet another year due to power steering failure.
1999 witnessed Glenn Seton Racing take on the image of Ford Tickford Racing.
Disaster at Phillip Island on the 27th of September 2000. Glenn's #6 FTR Falcon came unstuck on the rain soaked track, the accident so large that fellow competitor Mark Skaife stopped his car and jumped out to help Glenn. He was eventually air lifted to a main land hospital.
Between 1991 and 2000, excluding 1998, Glenn Seton had finished within the top five of the championship. In 1998 Glenn had finished 6th.
2002 major backing from Ford was removed and Glenn was left with a single car team once again. However after 14 years of GSR, Glenn sold his V8 license to racing company Prodrive, part of the deal was a two contract to race with Ford Performace Racing.
Following many podium results with Criag Lowndes in a GSR powered Falcon in 2003, Craig was to partner Glenn for the endurance races. The pairing didn't dissappoint Fred Gibson, racing with a unloved Beehag shell and an aging GSR powerplant they managed 2nd.
2004 was seen out with the team lacking more performance from the previous year, yet again even with a Prodrive Windsor V8 consuming it's weight in oil the pair came 2nd again. In a rare agreement that year Glenn Seton was allowed to test with Dick Johnson Racing, he joined the team fulltime in 2005.
Born in Sydney, moved in Victoria, Glenn now resides in Queensland, close to his team.
