Darren Turner leaving SEAT?

According to our information Darren Turner is on his way out of SEAT Sport UK for next season after two BTCC-seasons with the squad. Turner, a winner of the prestigious BRDC McLaren Autosport Young Driver of the Year award in 1996, joined BTCC and SEAT Sport UK in 2006 and has driven two seasons for the team. After a single-seater career that included two years as a testdriver for McLaren in F1 he drove two seasons in DTM followed by a few seasons in FIA GT before joining BTCC.

He has three wins and eight podiums from 45 BTCC-races and finished sixth in this years championship. It’s unclear where Darren Turner will go and who will replace him at SEAT. SEAT Sport UK tested the top four drivers from the SEAT Cupra support class at Rockingham earlier this week, where BTCC-regulars Jason Plato and Darren Turner was on hand to give advice.
