SEAT Leon EuroCup selects circuits

The inaugural SEAT Leon EuroCup will begin on May 2nd and the organisers have finally announced the tracks that will be hosting the one-make series.

On the opening day, the fleet of 330 PS Leon Cup Racers will head to the Nurburgring in Germany to kick-start the new season.

Other iconic tracks selected for the series include Silverstone (UK), Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium), Monza (Italy), and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya (Spain) - SEAT's home track. 

The racing competition will take place across a weekend, with 90 minutes of track time allowed during practice and qualifying, before the SEAT Leons take part in a pair of 50 and 60km spring races.

Powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged engine, the front-wheel drive Leon Cup Racers can deliver an impressive 400 Nm of torque when out on the track.

Jaime Puig, head of SEAT Sport and the brand's motorsport activities, said: “Based on the new generation Leon, it’s the next step of SEAT Sport’s ongoing commitment to providing our customers with high-value, high-technology and highly competitive motorsport."
