A petrol SEAT Leon for Marc Carol

Spanish youngster Marc Carol is set to make another one-off appearance in the FIA WTCC next week in Valencia.

The 25-year old from Sabadell will be at the wheel of a petrol-powered SEAT León TFSI as a reward for having won the 2009 SEAT León Supercópa. Carol was already given the same opportunity in 2005, when he was invited to race in the Valencia WTCC event as the 2004 Supercópa winner. On that occasion – when he was only 20-year old – Carol impressed at the wheel of a SEAT Toledo works car, finishing a brilliant tenth and eighth in the two races.

His car is entered by SEAT Customers Technology, a branch of SEAT Sport.

Carol currently lies second in the 2010 SEAT León Supercópa.
