Phil Glew returns!
http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/85929
Phil Glew will return to the British Touring Car Championship at Silverstone next weekend after agreeing a deal to race a second SEAT Leon TFSI for Special Tuning UK. Unlike his new team-mate Tom Boardman, Glew will drive a car powered by the TOCA turbocharged engine. His car will run under the YourRacingCar banner, in deference to the scheme that has backed cars in the Renault Clio Cup and the Ginetta G50 Cup over the past two years.
Great to see Phil back as he looked very fast in the Vectra. Its also great to see another slight variation in car on the grid and I wonder id the team will use it as a test for next year to see if it makes up for the Leons lack of top end speed.... Plato did mention that before right?My motorsport pics here on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/allyc85/sets/

It will be interesting to see how he compares with Tom Boardman in the normal Leon. Of course it is Boardman's team and he has vastly more experience than Glew in the Leon.
I guess Special Tuning UK are evaluating the possibility of switching over to the NGTC-engine for next year?Blackadder! Blackadder! With many a cunning plan,
Blackadder! Blackadder! You horrid little man.

Having seen the picture of his car I'm thinking its an ex-Diesel one cos of the larger air vents in the front....
Please ignore ALL of the above....

both the special tuning ones are the old TDI's used in BTCC in 2008 its just Boardmans has had the traditional front put back and Glew's car looked good in practice today was lifting the inside rear into Copse but looked really stable but quick every time he came through, only thing he didnt set a qualifying time
