Yesterday, Tuesday 22nd of March, SEAT Ireland announced that it is the main title sponsor of the Europa League final which takes place at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on Wednesday, 18th May 2011.

SEAT marked these announcements and showcased some of the stars of the range at a motoring event at Mondello Park in Naas.
Selected guests were invited for a series of exclusive test drives on the race track, giving them the opportunity to fully experience the Leon Cupra R and Leon FR TDI 170. The Leon Cupra R with its 260bhp is currently the best performing front wheel drive in Ireland so it was a real treat for guests to take this car around the track. In addition to the test drives, SEAT brand ambassador and professional driver, Eoin Murray gave guests the thrill of a real racing experience by driving guests around the track in the Leon Supercopa powered with 330 bhp.
