Monteiro joins WTCC
07 March 2007
Former Jordan and Midland F1 driver Tiago Monteiro has joined Seat in
the WTCC. The Portuguese driver will join the team after the opening
round of the FIA World Touring Car Championship, making him the fifth
official SEAT Sport pilot - alongside Jordi Gene, Michel Jourdain Jr,
Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini.
Although not racing, Monteiro will travel to Curitiba in Brazil for
this weekend's opening rounds of the WTCC, in order for him to get to
know all the components of the team and gain knowledge of the format
of a hectic WTCC race meeting. He will make his WTCC race debut at
Zandvoort in The Netherlands (May 5/6), rounds 3/4 of the series.
Monteiro's introduction to the SEAT Leon WTCC and SEAT Sport was when
he tested the car in Valencia recently. He demonstrated his desire to
join to the team and move to the WTCC then, and all parties have been
working hard to secure this deal ever since.
Tiago Monteiro commented on his move from F1 to WTCC: "Obviously I
am very satisfied with the agreement reached with SEAT Sport to become
an official team driver. Since testing the car in Valencia, I realised
that the team has great experience and can compete at the highest
professional level. With the team's help I am sure that I will be able
to learn rapidly in such a different championship and to be among the
best as soon as possible."
