Breeze and Welch team up for SEAT Cupra title challenge

Welch Motorsport will field an impressive driver line-up in this year’s SEAT Cupra Championship, with multiple race winners Carl Breeze and Daniel Welch teaming up in a pair of 300PS turbocharged Leon Cupras, run by the Fleet-based team.

Carl has retained backing from Bluechip.co.uk and is aiming to improve on last years three race wins and 3rd place in the SEAT Cupra Championship.

“My ultimate aim is to win the SEAT Cupra Championship and Welch Motorsport offers me a great package to be able to deliver the results,” said Carl.

Daniel will continue with sponsorship from Marriott Hotels, having enjoyed its hospitality at the Courtyard Marriott while driving an RPM Porsche in the recent Dubai 24 Hours. Daniel finished 5th in last season’s SEAT Cupra Championship, with wins at both final races at Thruxton.

“I’m looking forward to this year immensely,” said Daniel. “With the SEAT Cupra Championship looking to step up a gear, I feel Carl, who I have raced against for many years, and myself will make a strong partnership in working towards our goal.”

“It is great to have a driver of the calibre of Carl on board and with two rapid drivers in the team it will help us be where we want to be, and that is winning races and having a great shot at the SEAT Cupra Championship,” said Team Manager John Welch.  “That few tenths of a second that Carl and Daniel can achieve may well decide this year’s title and we believe that we now have the strongest driver line-up on the grid.”

Development work and testing over the next few months, together with the possibility of running a third driver, will set the team up for a full scale attempt on the 2008 SEAT Cupra Championship.
