New Circuits and 18 Rounds for the 2005 SEAT Cupra Championship

04 October 2004

The 2005 SEAT Cupra Championship has been expanded to 18 rounds, with the series playing a more significant role as a TOCA support as it races at all-but one of the next year’s British Touring Car Championship meetings.

The 2005 SEAT Cupra Championship will race at nine rounds of the 2005 BTCC, opting to miss the meeting at Mondello Park in Ireland. It will be the first time the Leon Cupra Rs have raced at Snetterton, on the Silverstone National Circuit (having raced on the Grand Prix track in 2003 and International Circuit in 2004) and on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit.

With a cash prize fund of over £200,000 and the top four drivers given a chance to impress in a SEAT touring car test, the 18 round 2005 SEAT Cupra Championship is expected to be hotly contested.
