SEAT scored its first race win of the season at Oulton Park, but equally pleasing was its strong all-round
performance which saw the team out-score its rivals in the Manufacturers' Championship. The aim is even
higher at Croft. The Toledo Cupra is well suited to the demanding Croft track - last year it dominated the
meeting by finishing 1st and 2nd in two out of the three races - and having tasted victory at the previous race
meeting, SEAT returns to Croft in confident mood.

James said: "It really all started to come together well at Oulton Park. The Toledo Cupra was very good, the
best it's been all year in fact, and it had lots of front end grip - exactly how I expected a touring car to feel
like. It's getting towards the halfway point in the series, so I've had enough time in the car to be able to
begin to make my mark. I know what I have to do in qualifying and I'll have a good chance at scoring my
best BTCC result if everything comes together again at Croft.

"I really like the Croft circuit. Last year in the Holiday Inn SEAT Cupra Championship I was fastest in all the test
sessions, started from pole in both races and broke the lap record twice - once in the first Cupra race and
then again in the second. It's been a good circuit to me in the past and last year SEAT proved that the
Toledo works well there as well."

A 30 minute qualifying session takes place for Round 13 at Croft circuit on Saturday 16th July at 15.20, with
three 15 lap races on Sunday, beginning at 12.01, 14.30 and 16.35.
