ChurchPro decided to stay in the SLSC
Here is what JDANKERT said to the press:
“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. In short words:
Again my driver ChurchPro was bumped in two of three races, while he was in good positions and on his way to the podium. He was so angry, and that is totally understandable, that he said: “I’ve done with the SEAT cup.“
I can now announce, that he had reconsidered his decision, that an apology was made and excepted. ChurchPro will stay in the series and start in the next race. I am happy with his decision, …
…but: Last Sunday had cost my driver his season and JDRT a very good result in the team competition. I am disappointed about this style of behavior on the track.
Pretty much fitzy :)
There must be 5+ video's like that with Plato and Neal.
Best one is when Neal goes to lamp Plato lol
Said and done though it's racing and if Fitzy wasn't so fast we wouldn't be bashing each other.
The "interesting racing lines" alluded to by Sim were almost entirely due to me grappling with my wheel which has come back into use now i have a proper stand for it. Although itried to stay out of everyones way allowing faster cars past and so on , in race 3 i punted jonnyfocus and another unidentified driver, I apologised at the time and do so again here, acclimitisation to the wheel seems to be a long process!!! I have had a wee think about my wheel in terms of the differences between it and a controller and modified technique to suit, and found a second relative to my pace in the clio qually car from the night before. Progress of a sort!!
SEAT INTRODUCES LEON CUP RACER AT GTI WÖRTHERSEE TREFFEN
- SEAT Leon Cup Racer showcases the brand's motorsport future - 330 PS, lightweight design, cutting-edge racing technology - Prepared for private teams and a wide range of racing series worldwide - Available now, from €70,000 excl. VAT - Leon show car featuring full aero kit on display in Wörthersee too
Wörthersee, May 2013. With the brand new Leon Cup Racer, SEAT is stating its unequivocal commitment to motorsport and to customer racing teams at the legendary GTI Wörthersee meet in the Austrian region of Kärnten.
The Leon Cup Racer gives a very clear indication of what a SEAT touring car racer might look like, prepared for a wide range of racing series worldwide. The 330 PS Leon Cup Racer forms the basis for development work and test drives to be undertaken over the coming months.
The Cup Racer will be joined on the SEAT stand by five more, extremely fiery and individually equipped versions of the Ibiza and Leon models.
"Motorsport is deeply anchored in our brand; SEAT has more than 40 years of racing history and, with the Leon Cup Racer, we are now writing the next chapter for our highly motivated customer teams. The Cup Racer is not a show model, but the first test car for our development work," says Dr. Matthias Rabe, SEAT Executive Vice-President for Research and Development.
"The new generation of the SEAT Leon provides a compelling basis; its sporty qualities are highly acclaimed by customers and motoring journalists alike. With the racing version, we are building on from the great sporty success of recent years."
Unmistakeable design DNA, outstanding aerodynamics The Cup Racer, which is based on the five-door Leon and painted in metallic matte grey with orange accents, cuts a visually stunning figure. Its incredibly powerful stance on 18-inch racing wheels comes from a track that is 40 cm wider than that of the series production model.
The new front end is laid out for optimum aerodynamic efficiency and maximum airflow to the engine and brake system, while the mighty wheel arches with their openings on the trailing edge aid the cooling effect on the four-piston brake system. The sills are heavily flared and, together with the front spoiler, the smooth under body, the rear diffuser and the two-phase roof spoiler mounted on a support, achieve maximum down force for high-speed cornering.
Yet, even in the Cup Racer, the design DNA of the Leon remains fully intact: the distinctive full-LED headlights with the highly individual signature of their daytime running lights have been carried over from the series production model, as have the LED rear lights. The roofline contour is also the same as on the production model, just like the characteristic lines and precise blisters down the sides.
Maximum control, perfect safety The interior of the Leon Cup Racer is also ready for the track. Systematic weight reduction and a carefully minimalist approach define the inside of the car, which is protected by a high-strength roll cage. The bucket seat with HANS head-protection system also offers optimum safety.
It is upholstered with specially developed leather that is exceptionally good at regulating moisture. The base form of the production Leon cockpit is retained, although the car's driver information and controls are concentrated firmly on the multi-function steering wheel and the high-resolution TFT display behind it, ensuring that the driver always maintains maximum control over his racing machine.
Full performance for the very best lap times Power comes from a two-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged engine. It boasts a maximum output of 330 PS and maximum torque of 350 Nm. Power transmission to the front axle is handled by a six-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox controlled from the steering wheel and an electronically controlled differential lock. A special variant of the Cup Racer for endurance racing can be equipped with a sequential racing transmission with a shift lever on the centre console and a mechanical differential lock.
A preliminary price for the Leon Cup Racer has already been defined – the version with DSG transmission will cost €70,000 (excl. VAT), while the endurance version with a sequential transmission and mechanical differential lock is priced at €95,000 (also excl. VAT).
"We expect to be able to offer the Leon Cup Racer to our customer teams as early as the 2014 season. With the two versions for sprint and endurance racing, the Cup Racer is ideal for an extremely broad palette of racing series – from the ETTC to the VLN Endurance Cup on the Nürburgring," says Jaime Puig, Head of SEAT Sport and responsible for the brand's motorsport activities. "We can also envisage further developing the Cup Racer to create a WTCC version with a 1.6-litre engine. After all, we have a great tradition to defend there."
Ibiza SC Trophy - for the race track Alongside the premiere of the Leon Cup Racer, fans can look forward to five more of the brand's sporting highlights on the SEAT stand at Wörthersee. The Ibiza SC Trophy also has a licence to compete on the world's race tracks, particularly in its own single-brand cups in Spain and Italy. For the 2013 season, the 1.4-litre turbocharged engine now has 200 PS, a seven-speed DSG operated from the steering wheel and a mechanical differential lock for outstanding traction. Interested parties with a racing licence can acquire the Ibiza SC Trophy from SEAT Sport starting at €31,500 (excl. VAT).
Ibiza - the compact athlete Aside from showing a production Ibiza Cupra at Wörthersee, painted in Nevada white and featuring gloss black 17-inch alloy wheels, SEAT will also display an Emocion red Ibiza FR equipped with an 'FR ten-year anniversary' package. Marked out by two-tone black and silver 17-inch wheels, plus a roof spoiler, wing mirror covers and sills painted in a titanium finish, this Ibiza, named the 'SC FR Ten', sits on lower springs and has the upgraded brake system from the Ibiza Cupra.
Leon - style and individuality Two versions of the SEAT Leon display further individualisation options for SEAT's successful new model: the Leon FR 1.8 TSI with 180 PS in Emocion red comes with an even more powerful look thanks to an Aero Kit including front and rear skirts. A set of 19-inch wheels offer an unhindered view of the bright red brake callipers. Inside, cockpit and steering wheel trim elements are also finished in vibrant red, while seats and door panels are clad in red and black leather.
The new Leon SC rounds off the line-up in FR guise and with the top TDI generating 184 PS under the bonnet. The 19-inch wheels and the red callipers offer a perfect contrast to the gleaming paintwork in Nevada white. The interior is finished in black and grey two-tone leather.
VIP party on the SEAT boat Organisers are estimating that this year's festival (the 32nd since it began) will once again attract well over 100,000 visitors over the four show days, and SEAT will again be putting on a VIP show for SEAT Club members.
The SEAT boat has become a classic feature of the Wörthersee Treffen. This year, too, the VIP party on the boat is one of the hottest events of the fringe programme. Throughout the entire Treffen, DJs on the SEAT stand and on the SEAT boat will be playing hot music while partygoers sip cool drinks. SEAT dancing girls will be there, too.
The SEAT movie team will also be on site. They will be making short films featuring drivers of the most distinctive tuned SEATs and showing them on the Facebook page of SEAT Austria.
With my limited participation in room A I'll stay say this.
That room is HARDER to race clean in than in room B. Everyone is so fast that if you DO give someone room to pass you can count on 3 going by you not just that guy. Makes me wish I would just shut the door more often.
JDRT team owner JDANKERT won't race at sunday, because some business issues related to the team have to be solved. Those talks will be held in North Germany and JDANKERT combines the business trip with a camping family trip - mother, son, dog and father are visiting a big medieval festival.
JDANKERT: "I am absolutely sure, that my drivers will be calm and confident. We have discussed last weekends incidents and all came to the one and only possible JDRT solution: We will compete fair, clean and space giving. Don't ask me about other drivers! We all will see. I hope, that JDRT will become a chance to make it to the podium in room A and also in room B. For sure is: My drivers will have fun!"

After race 1 , I thought i would just pull over to one side at the starts for race 2 & 3...................save crashing , had fun following General , some strange racing lines!?

Some lags in room B have contributed to some crashes. Here from race 1.
I felt like the red headed stepchild in that room. And punting Gizzy in race 1 sure didn't help. But the next two races I was clean (AND surprised by all the accidents). I thought I was back in room B of the BTCC
I think yesterday's races were the closest thing to being involved in a real BTCC event. I definitely had a Plato moment.
