SEAT Leon Supercopa - excitement up to the last race

The title decision in the 2011 SEAT Leon Supercopa will have to wait for the season finale in Hockenheim. With Shane Williams’ fourth success of this season at the seventh race in Oschersleben the duel of Williams and Elia Erhart first seemed to enter the next round.

During the usual examinations after the race, however, the scrutineers found a part on the South African’s car that was not according to the regulations. Hence, the stewards decided to disqualify Williams and declared Thomas Marschall winner. Petr Fulin became second and third place went to Mario Dablander. Following this decision, Elia Erhart leads the overall ranking with 42 points, ahead of Marschall and Fulin.

SONAX is series sponsor of the fast brand trophy and visible on all racing cars’ windscreens. This year, the racing series will be run on eight racing weekends, mostly as DTM format.

The SEAT Leon Supercopa is powered by a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder TSI turbocharged engine with 300 HP. The six-speed DSG gearbox with extremely short change times, operated by rocker switches on the steering wheel, allows rapid acceleration out of the curve and is adjusted to the engine’s characteristics exactly. Together with the differential lock, the aerodynamics package comprising front splitter, flat underbody, rear diffuser and adjustable rear spoiler ensures extremely high speed in curves.
