all was lost for SEAT
, up it pops with a new one-make race series to keep us interested. Replacing the Leon Supercopa, the Leon Eurocup gets started next May.
Not to bleat on about the road car but...
The car being used is the
Leon Cup Racer
, the ruded up and hunkered down racer revealed at Worthersee earlier this year. A pack of these tearing round a circuit would surely make quite a sight.
The full 2014 calendar hasn't been confirmed but there will be six events across Europe during next season. SEAT is promising 'attractive prize money' for the Leon Eurocup, which should help offset some of the 77,000 euro Cup Racer purchase price. Best be fast then...
The corporate line from SEAT is that the Cup Racer 'is an excellent vehicle and will thrill our fans with some fascinating competition'. We await the championship with some interest then, and a road car with even greater eagerness.
