Spain: a bunch of SEAT
cars in endurance races
A TCR class has been included for the first time in the
Spanish Endurance Championship (CET) that kicked off at
Barcelona-Catalunya circuit one month ago.
Nine SEAT León Cup Racer cars took part in the two-hour
race, fighting against a swarm of GTs and other Touring
Cars; 51 vehicles that were divided into eight classes took
the start.
Baporo Motorsport – a specialist of the Spanish brand –
claimed a 1-2 finish in the TCR class, with Jaime Font
and Faust Salom beating their Andorran teammates,
brothers Joan and Amàlia Vinyes by twenty-nine seconds.
The PCR Sport trio of Unai Arrabarruena, Iñaki Vigiola
and Óscar Fernández claimed the last spot on the podium
a further four seconds adrift.
The SEAT of Font-Salom was classified tenth overall,
only two laps behind the winning Porsche 911.
The next CET meeting will take place at Navarra,
on May 22.
