Plato

[rdjones]

I was at Rockingham today and Jason Plato was interview by Alan Hyde and he said that the winner of the Seat Coupra Championship would be his team mate next year - now does that mean what I think it means - Seat to the BTCC?

Now the way I understand the prize of the said championship is the the winner gets a work' ride in the ETCC or have Seat changed there mine and are going to run in the BTCC instead............

if so, surely the winner could make quite a case in court undersome sort of descriptions act???

its Plato and the Winner to SEAT in ETCC so I understand.

Bit silly to win a flat in Monaco and race in the BTCC

Unless I've missed something it hasn't been confirmed until now that Plato would be a Seat work's driver in 2004.

Remember next years prize of an ETCC drive was with Seat UK - I wouldn't say it'd be too difficult to place the winner in the fully works Seat team from Spain.

yes hadnt been confirmed, at least up until yesterday but pretty much taken as read since the first test at Rockingham back in April.

My understanding is that in 04 there will be two Seat Sport UK( Northern South) cars (possibly this years cars updated?) and two Seat Sport Spain cars

And maybe one Toledo more for Spanish privateer team. They wanted to run ETCC this season but finally they didn´t get the budget.

thanks E46, wasnt aware of that. Am I correct in saying there are already four chassis, or were the devlopemnt cars at the start of the season different chassis?

I think you have reason, there are four Seat Toledo. But I have my doubts on a possible fifth car, possible one for Team Elias and would be Seat Sport test-car . But really I am not sure on this last one.
