TITLE GLORY FOR STYLISH GLEW

Phil Glew secured the 2009 ELF Renault Clio Cup championship in style with a double win in the penultimate race meeting of the season at Rockingham, last weekend.

After dominating the season the 26-year-old was finally able to celebrate the title with two pole to flag wins in his WD-40 and 3-IN-ONE professional sponsored Clio at the Northamptonshire circuit.

An emotional and ecstatic Glew shed a tear after winning and is now looking forward to moving up the motorsport career ladder.

He said: “This title is a dream come true and I can’t thank the team and sponsors enough for all their help throughout the season.

“I may have driven the car but the support of everyone, particularly my sponsors WD-40 and 3-IN-ONE professional has been vital.”

In race one Glew started on pole knowing he needed a podium finish to claim the title and held off all challengers to claim his first flag to pole victory of the day, and with it the championship.

As the newly crowned 2009 ELF Renault Clio Cup champion Glew started from pole in race two, again leading to the chequered flag, claiming his tenth win of the season.

Glew added: “To win both the championship and my target of ten wins makes the day just perfect.

“I’ve been pushed all the way from my rivals but always managed to find that extra pace, mainly thanks to the way Team Pyro set the car up.

“The future is still undecided but I’m hoping my performances throughout the season will enable me to look at a seat in the 2010 British Touring Car Championship.”

TITLE WITHIN SIGHT FOR GLEW

Phil Glew took a giant step towards the 2009 ELF Renault Clio Cup championship with a near flawless performance last weekend at Silverstone.

The 24-year-old claimed first and second place finishes in his WD-40 and 3-IN-ONE professional sponsored Clio to give him an almost unassailable championship lead.

Nearest rival Alex MacDowall took a third place in the first race but was forced to retire from the second race, thus handing Glew a 111 point advantage.

In race one Glew started on pole but settled for second place as he allowed Dave Newsham to pass and safely collect important championship points.

Glew started second in race two but a multi car pile-up led to the safety car leading the race for four laps.

After the safety car laps, Glew passed Tom Carnaby for the lead and finished a comfortable three seconds ahead of the field.

MacDowall’s retirement on lap five gave Glew that further boost as he looks to win the championship in the next round at Rockingham.

He’s now racked up an impressive eight wins and a further six podiums from 16 races, proof of his dominance in the championship.

Glew commented: “I’m obviously delighted with the weekend results and feel like I have one and a half hands on the trophy.

“I was consistent in my lap times all weekend, but know I need to continue pushing and hope to win the championship at Rockingham later in September.

“I’d like to thank the continued support of fans and the team, but particularly my sponsors WD-40 and 3-IN-ONE professional, without which this championship challenge wouldn’t be possible.”

Rounds 17 & 18 of the ELF Renault Clio Cup take place at Rockingham Circuit on 19th & 20th September.
