£100,000 Holiday Inn SEAT Super Prix Prize Money

Kent driver, Andre D'Cruze, has been visiting Brands Hatch for 22 years! He knows the circuit better than most, and will be aiming for local victory in his Hot Wheels / GamePod Leon. For Emmet O’Brien, starting near the front of the grid could see the 22-year old driver from Dublin shine after a season’s best of 4th place at Thruxton.

Paula Cook will be looking to end a hard-fought year with a good performance in her EFS Leon, while Hamish Gordon also has victory in mind in his Sunday Times Leon. Karl Goshawk’s season began with an accident in qualifying at Croft and ended in the crash barriers at Thruxton. He’ll be keen to wipe the slate clean and start the Holiday Inn SEAT Super Prix afresh.

Bouncing back from his massive 100 mph accident at Thruxton, the talented 18-year old Northamptonshire driver, Ben Winrow, will be competing in a new Telemecanique sponsored Leon Cupra R at Brands Hatch.

Melanie Healey has made excellent progress throughout the Championship in her second season of racing. She scored points in all the last four SEAT Cupra Championship races and the web vote indicates that she will start at Brands Hatch in her highest grid position yet. Melanie is looking forward to getting stuck into some serious racing, right in the thick of the action. The transition from rallying to racing is not an easy one, and Natalie Barratt did well to hang onto the more experienced racing drivers and score points at Thruxton. She was certainly one of the stars of ITV’s Racing Rivals, with her no-nonsense approach to life striking a cord with the television audience.

The Holiday Inn SEAT Super Prix will be filmed for a 1 hour Racing Rivals special. Presented by Nell McAndrew and Jason Plato, it will be broadcast on ITV2 on Saturday 4 October (check local television listings for time).
