Richard West did say there would be a 2004 manufacturer announcement soon, so it makes sense. But SEAT suprises me, I thought it'd be the Ford project.

good - more manufacturers = bigger championship = bigger crowd = better coverage = maybe live tv coverage = more action = SUCCESS

If SEAT Confirm it would be great news. I partically like the possible idea of SEAT running the SuperCopa champion. I think a good young driver could launch their career with a manufacturer in the BTCC, and they could go onto great things, it would be a real oppurtunity for someone.

Well his been linked to the Supacoppa, and a deal to work on the SEAT Leon with VLR with a view to stepping into the Tourers with the marque.
Just pointing out that the Supacopa will not just be young up and coming. |

The ETCC entry is confirmed for 2003 and I could imagine there will be no other.
