SEAT had a triumphant World Touring Car Championship weekend in Monza, where a crowd of 50,000 attended two races dominated by the Leon Tdi cars.
With two 1-2 finishes at the Italian racetrack, SEAT Sport drivers have claimed a serious stake on both the world titles.
With the retirements during the second race of Chevrolet's Robert Huff and BMW's Andy Priaulx, the drivers title is now a fight between Yvan Muller and Gabriele Tarquini, who shared victory in Monza, and are split by nine points.
With 40 points still at stake, the hopes of Robert Huff (31 points behind), Rickard Rydell (33) and Andy Priaulx (34) have nearly vanished.
In the manufacturers' championship, SEAT have stretched their lead to 54 points ahead of BMW.
