2008 SEAT Sport UK, Technical Manual – New Leon Cupra v3 (Autosport International)
66
Loan Engine Contract
The Loan Engine Scheme available to competitors is at the discretion of SEAT Sport UK. The Loan Engine is to be
used only for the replacement of a complete engine (with all SEAT Sport UK Confirmation Seals intact and in good
condition) that has incurred damage and is no longer usable through either a mechanical failure or misuse. This
engine will be of the same type and specification as per SEAT Sport UK regulations.
The Loan/Replacement Engine will be charged at a cost to the competitor of £400 + VAT per day/part day of use,
plus a deposit of £2000 + VAT.
The Loan Engine will only be released to the team/competitor when the agreement is signed, the deposit and the
first day charge (minimum) is paid and the competitor’s original engine is returned to SEAT Sport UK.
The Competitor will be responsible for the entire repair and rebuild costs, including all transportation costs, of
their existing damaged engine to bring it back to the same level and specification as the loan/replacement
engine. This will be as per Championship standards and Regulations.
If the damaged engine is beyond economical repair, the Competitor will be liable for a full engine replacement
cost, or will have the option to purchase the loan engine at full SEAT Sport UK price, or return the
loan/replacement engine back to SEAT Sport UK with costs incurred as listed above plus any transportation costs
by the date agreed.
