2009 Renault Clio Cup Champion Phil Glew will drive the Lotus Sport UK Evora for the remainder of the 2011 British GT championship in the GT4 class, as he teams up with former Porsche Carrera Cup GB racer Ollie Jackson.

Talking of the deal Glew commented: “The opportunity came about to drive the Lotus Sport UK Evora last week, and I jumped at the chance. We still want be in the BTCC and are having some delays with one of our main sponsors, so the opportunity to drive this great car fits into our plans nicely whilst we wait for our sponsorship to be finalised. Who knows, in an ideal world, maybe we could be running in both championships in the near future!"

Glew has already tested the Evora at Snetterton last week and was impressed with the Lotus Sport UK outfit. The first competitive outing will be this weekend at Brands Hatch as the championship takes on the Grand Prix circuit.
