Touring Car Masters organisers have confirmed that Glenn Seton will debut Jim Morton’s new Falcon XB when the series visits Eastern Creek Raceway next month.
Seton is the third former Australian Touring Car Champion to join the TCM ranks, with John Bowe and Jim Richards again expected to lead the way at the New South Wales venue in their Ford Mustang and Ford Falcon respectively.
Despite the recent exit of fellow front-runner Gavin Bullas, the September 1-3 Muscle Car Masters meeting has attracted 33 TCM entries.
Formula Ford racer Elliot Barbour will also debut a V8 hardtop – the youngster becoming the first to campaign an eight-cylinder Chrysler Charger.
Cameron Tilley, brother of front-running Falcon XY driver Brad Tilley, will swap his Valiant Pacer for a 1969 Ford Mustang, while Ross Almond (Porsche 911 RS), Matt O’Brien (Holden Monaro), Brett Youlden (Holden Monaro) and Nigel Benson (Holden Monaro) all return to the class.
John Bowe currently leads the points standings after the opening three rounds.
The Muscle Car Masters will also feature races for Group A, Group C and Group N historic touring cars, while Sports Sedans will compete for the inaugural Tony Edmonson trophy.
