James Thompson has warned his rivals that he expects his SEAT team to leave Snetterton's Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship rounds this Sunday (13 August) with a pair of race winner's trophies.
Former double BTCC champion Thompson has more wins than any driver currently on the grid, his 33 victories to date putting him fifth in the championship's all-time winners' chart.
And the Yorkshireman will arrive at Snetterton, in Norfolk, having also just taken the lead of the World Touring Car Championship for SEAT's international squad after the latest rounds in Mexico.
Although his WTCC commitments this year take priority over his BTCC campaign - he's only contesting six of the UK series' ten fixtures - his desire to win in front of his home crowds is as great as ever.
Harrogate-based Thompson, aged 32, said: "In the four meetings I've been paired with Jason we've always won or been very close to winning.
"I see no reason why we can't have a strong weekend at Snetterton and go away with a couple of victories."
Thompson's priority is to help score SEAT the points it needs to win this year's Manufacturers' title - currently it leads arch rival Vauxhall, although the British make closed up in the most recent rounds at Donington Park.
But Thompson believes that SEAT can reassert its authority this weekend, even if its Leon model might not be a match for Vauxhall's Astra Sport Hatch along Snetterton's long straights.
He added: "That might be the case, but I see no reason to be pessimistic. Jason and I work very well together as the results show.
"Of course it will be tough. It always is in the BTCC and just because I'm first in the WTCC doesn't mean I'm going to rock up and blitz everyone. There are some excellent drivers, teams and cars on the grid and the BTCC has a fantastic set of rules that throw the racing wide open.
"The rules make it very hard for any one person to dominate and are one of the reasons why the BTCC appeals so much to the public.
"I think Snetterton is going to see three very exciting races - it's always close there and the sight of the cars slipstreaming and drawing alongside one another down the straights will make for great entertainment for the crowds."
Admittance to Snetterton's BTCC race day on Sunday is FREE for children aged 12 and under. Details of all ticket pricing for adults can be found the www.snetterton.co.uk website.
In addition to three BTCC rounds on Sunday, there will be 11 races from a variety of supporting championships from BMW, Porsche, Renault, SEAT, T-Cars and historic touring cars.
