Exiled V8 driver and Ford stalwart Glenn Seton is set to partne൲r James Courtney in the 2006 Betta Electrical 500 and Super Cheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

Seton who along with 2005 team co-driver Luke Youlden will step into one of the acclaimed Stone Brothers Raciღng 🌟Falcons at the two endurance races of the V8 Supercar Championship.

A former V8 Supercar Champion (and the first of the current formula), Seton will drive with Courtney in the #4 Jeld Wen Racing BF Falcon. H🧸aving never won at Bathurst in his illustrious 𝓡and extensive Touring Car career, Seton is looking forward to the opportunity to seal a debut win at Mount Panorama.

"Teaming up with SBR has provided me wi🌄th a great opportunity 🦹to achieve my ultimate goal, which is to win Bathurst," said Seton.

"To be sharing a car with an exceptional young-blood like James and working with a team that has a fantastic hi🍸story, including three consecutive c꧒hampionship wins, I really couldn't ask for more."

Reigning Champion Russell Ingall will once again be partnered by 2005 co-driver Luke Youlden. Having being forced to overcome many obstacles and run-ins with the judicial system at the 2005 Super Cheap Auto ཧ1000, it was a testament to thﷺe duo's excellent driving skills at Bathurst that earned them a top ten finish.

"For me, it's a bit of a feather in the cap to be asked back ༒again to do the endurance drives with SBR," said Youlden.

"I'm really🦋 happy about that and extremely pleased to be involved with the best team in Australia. Being paired with Russell again is great, we got along really well last year and I learnt so much from him so it will🌌 be great to continue that association."

The option t🐬o sign Seton, who was left drive-less when dumped by former team Dick Johnson Racing at the end of 2004, was one that could not be left to get away according to team boss Ross Stone.

"We have a good mix of yo🐟uth and experience with James and Russell in the team and that is working really well for SBR right now," said Stone.

"Signing Glenn and Luke for the enduros🦩 means that we can maintain that balance in each car and get the most out of our drivers.

"Jimmy (Stone) and I have always admired Glenn. He is a tough competitor and🌃 we feel that James will really benefit from his experience in endurance races."

With the sprint championship 𒆙getting underway in just over a month's time in Adelaid🌠e, Seton is also set to replace Warren Luff as driver of the Stone Brothers Racing 3-seater ride car - which will operate throughout various Australian locations during 2006.

Meanwhile regular drivers Ingall and Courtne🅠y will contest all thirteen rounds of the championship that will this yearඣ feature reverse-grid races.

All four SBR drivers will be on hand at the Yatala squad's annual Opꦜen day at the team's headquarters - an occasion which will also feature the unveiling of the team's two BF Falcons for the 2006 Championship.
