The SEAT TDi leaves the WTCC stage

Aleksei Dudukalo is the last of the SUNRED drivers to switch from the SEAT León TDi to the SUNRED León 1.6T that he will drive from the Donington Park event.

This change marks the exit of the Spanish turbo diesel car from the WTCC stage, the boards of which she trod for five years, from the 2007 event in Anderstorp, claiming 32 race wins and making motor sport history for being the first diesel car to win FIA World Championships (2008 with Yvan Muller and 2009 with Gabriele Tarquini).

And besides securing to world titles, the Muller-Tarquini duo also marked the beginning and the end of this outstanding machine’s racing career, as the Frenchman claimed her first win at Oschersleben in 2007 and the Italian the last one, two-and-a-half months ago at Zolder.
