Jourdain tests Seat

The SEAT Sport team completed a two day test – on Monday and Wednesday – at Barcelona’s Catalunya racetrack.

The Spanish team shook down the 2007 León cars that will be shipped to Curitiba, Brazil, in the next days, but also focused on different set-up solutions, aerodynamics adjustements and improvement of the standing start.

All four SEAT Sport drivers attended the test: Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini on Monday, Jordi Gené and Michel Jourdain on Wedenesday, but the former completed some laps also on the first day.

The team dedicated a special attention to the apprenticeship of Jourdain; the Mexican driver completed 75 laps and used Gené as a benchmark.

“It was not an easy task for him,” SEAT Sport director Jaime Puig commented “because this is Jordi's home track. However every time Michel drives the León he is quicker. He will need some more time to get used to the front-wheel drive, but he has surely the potential to become competitive.”

The Spanish team will test again in Valencia next week, on February 14 and 15.


Nice line up for Seat. Will be interesting to see how ex-champ car and nascar driver Michel Jourdain gets on.

He hasn't been in NASCAR for a while. His Busch ride went tits up and he has only been making the off truck race here and there.
