SEAT has won its second consecutive FIA European Touring Car Cup title thanks to Danish pilot Michel Nykjaer and the GR Asia team Seat León.  In front of 10,000 spectators at the Adria circuit in northern Italy, the newly-crowned Danish Touring Car Champion gave Seat and the GR Asia team back-to-back ETCC titles, following Ryan Sharp’s victory at Estoril in 2006.  The twisty 2.7km Italian circuit of Adria, near the city of Venice, saw a large grid of 38 cars compete in the third ETCC, with Seat beating BMW, Honda, Chevrolet, Toyota, Audi, Ford, Alfa Romeo, Mercedes and Opel to the title.  Points from two 19 lap races determined the champion.  In the first race, Nykjaer finished second behind Thomas Engstrom (Honda), and therefore started seventh on the grid for the second race, as the top eight finishers from race one started race two in reverse order. http://www.autoracingdaily.com/16672/
