Monteiro wants to capitalize

Tiago Monteiro, driver of one of the two Seat Leon TDi prepared by Oreca, is optimistic at the start of the Brands Hatch round. The eighth round of the championship should, according to the Portuguese, be to the advantage of the Spanish cars. “ Brands Hatch is a circuit that I really like and I think our car can be very effective on this track. » After the previous rounds, in Brno and Porto, where Leon managed to score many important points, Tiago Monteiro imagines that this weekend will bring smiles to Seat. “ The championship is still open and even if we had to deal with some unexpected difficulties, our race pace has always been very good. »

Driver of a Seat Leon TDi, the car that dominates the WTCC, Tiago Monteiro remains in the shadow of Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini. Despite everything, the Portuguese does not lack ambition. “ Personally, I am very motivated. Even more so after getting on the podium in Valencia and Brno and after scoring points twice in Porto. My goal will be to score as many points as possible at Brands Hatch. I would like to get on the podium but it is only when we start free practice that we will know what the most realistic prospects are for us. » First elements of response on Saturday, during the first driving sessions on the Brands Hatch circuit.
