Who is Glenn Scott?

Glenn Scott is a 19 year old from Mangrove Mountain on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia. He has the determination and character to be crowned World Moto Grand Prix Champion in the future.

Glenn has had to endure personal tragedy that nobody at a young age should ever have to experience. His parents, Denise and Denis Scott were killed in a motorcycle accident when Glenn was only 12 years old.

Since that time Glenn has been raised by his older brother, Greg and sister, Candice. The three Scott children have stayed together as a family and supported each other throughout the past five years.

The Scott family has always had a passion for motorbikes. This was no doubt cultivated by Denise and Denis before they were tragically killed doing what they enjoyed, riding motorbikes. Glenn’s first bike was a LEM 50cc, a motorbike purchased by his parents when Glenn was only 5 years old. By the time Glenn was 6, he had won his first Australian Championship in Victoria. Over the next 6 years the Scott family would travel throughout the states of Australia competing in various dirt bike competitions. The passing of Glenn’s parents saw Greg and Candice continue to support Glenn and his dream to be a World Champion. By the time Glenn was 15 years of age he had won a further 42 State titles and 8 Australian titles. Without the support of his family, Glenn would not have had the opportunity to experience such success.

Glenn’s potential and talent were recognized in 2007 when only 15, a student at school and barely old enough to road race he won the 125cc Australian Superbike Championship. In doing so, Glenn had 10 straight wins across Australia and broke 2 lap records to be crowned 125GP Australian Champion. What makes his achievement remarkable is Glenn was the “new kid”, racing seasoned competitors. Even more remarkable, Glenn was able to complete his School Certificate at Central Coast Grammar School. Glenn’s school years have been well supported by both fellow students and staff.

During 2008 Glenn travelled back and forth to Spain to compete in the 125GP Spanish Championship, with a private team called 7C, riding a Honda. This was a steep learning curve for Glenn. He was racing against the best riders in a foreign country at only 16 years of age.

In 2009 Glenn returned to Spain to ride for the official Honda Stop and Go Castrol Team. Glenn spent the year living in San Fruitos, a small town outside Barcelona, where he trained with his team mates and competed again in 125GP Spanish Championship.
The 2010 season seen Glenn riding back home in the Australian Formula Xtreme Championship on a S1000 RR BMW. Coming from a 125 background, riding the BMW was a big directional change for Glenn. Halfway through the racing season Glenn stepped on a Kawasaki ZX6 where he gained podium positions. These results helped Glenn make the move to 600 Supersport in the Australian Superbike Championship for the 2011 season.

Glenn joined the WNR Kawasaki Racing Team for 2011 season. Glenn will be piloting the Kawasaki 600 Supersport in the Australian Superbike Championship. Glenn hopes to achieve strong results in this class to create opportunities to once again compete overseas in the future.
Glenn has come so far in a short time. Whether this young man does become World Champion one day or not is irrelevant. The fact, he has a dream and is doing whatever he can under difficult circumstances to live his dream is amazing. With the support of his loving brother and sister there is no looking back. “I am more determined than ever to achieve my goal. I have come so far and jumped many hurdles." Glenn’s parents would be proud of him and his brother, Greg and sister, Candice.

Glenn is embodied in the true Australian spirit. He has such determination and integrity the Central Coast community is proud to follow Glenn on his journey as will the rest of Australia when they learn of his compelling story of commitment.
