Barth’s Swiss SEAT presented in Geneva

Fredy Barth unveiled at the International Motor Show in Geneva the livery of his SEAT Swiss Racing car he will drive in the 2011 WTCC.

His SEAT León car will be run again by Spain-based outfit SUNRED Engineering; on his second year in the World Touring Car Championship and after finishing nine races in the points during his maiden season, Barth aims for more points and for podium results.

The SEAT Swiss Racing livery is all about "Swissness”, with the national white-and-red flag sported on the roof of the car and a stylized silhouette of the famous Matterhorn mountain on both sides.

"I am really happy and proud, to once again be part of both the WTCC family and the SUNRED team. Unveiling the livery here in Geneva offered the ideal setting for a successful season. The fact that I have already settled into the championship will help me to prepare myself for the new season. I know most of the racetracks and also the secrets of racing in the WTCC, and with some luck that was missing sometimes in 2010, podium finishes will be within our grasp,” said Barth, adding: “The start of the season won’t be easy with the old TDI engine, but from the third event in Marrakech we will have the new 1.6-litre turbo engine.”
