Ross Curnow is considering a move into the Seat Cupra Championship next season, after the ex-Formula BMW Rookie Cup champion admitted his racing career is at a crossroads.

He said: “Ideally next season I’d like to stay in single-seaters I’m looking at F3 and Champ Car Atlantic but it’s tough to get the budget. I’ve nearly got a full budget for the Seat Cupra Championship so that’s also an option.

Andy Priaulx’s recent success in World Touring Cars has inspired Curnow to investigate a career in saloon car racing. “Andy has proved you can jump from single-seaters to touring cars and shine,” said Curnow. “There are a lot more chances in touring cars and Seat is becoming a really big name in the sport.”

If Curnow moves into touring cars, he will follow in the footsteps of his father, Alan, who raced in saloons and touring cars for 25 years.
