I've done two different articles on this:
SEAT to European Touring Car Cup, 2005-07-14, 19:11:25
The BTCC SEAT´s are set to compete in the European Touring Car Cup which will be held at Vallelunga this autumn. Jason Plato is expected to take part in the race, but not only British SEAT´s are expected to take part.
"I have suggested to all the teams running our cars in Europe - in Britain, Italy, Denmark and Finland - that they should go to Vallelunga. We believe that the event is a good idea and we would very much like to win it," Jamie Puig from SEAT said.
Rules for the event states that to be able to compete in the cup, the driver must compete in 70% of the races in a national series. This is to prevent WTCC drivers to compete.

STCC teams to Vallelunga ETC Cup, 2005-09-25, 10:32:03
The FIA European Touring Car Cup is getting closer. The race will be held on the 16:th of October at Vallelunga, Italy. There are many drivers from many countries that are expected to show up in this race. But with the recent end of the STCC finale we will look in to which STCC teams that are expected to arrive.
The Honda of Tomas Engström is since long confirmed for the race. He will get assistance from the JAS WTCC Honda team. Johan Stureson is another driver already confirmed for the race. He will be there in his Peugeot 407 prepared by IPS Motorsport.
The newly crowned STCC champion team West Coast Racing are not officially confirmed, but very likely to attend. Göransson mentioned at the STCC final that it is their aim to race at Vallelunga, hopefully with both cars for Göransson and Björk. The Alfa Romeo team of Mattias Andersson is also expected to be there.
The Volvo team of Robert Dahlgren and Edward Sandström have expressed interest in the race. A official decision is not yet taken, but hopefully both cars will be at Vallelunga in October. The same goes for the new STCC Mercedes team of Tobias Johansson and Hans Simonsson.
