31-year-old Heynes has BTCC experience, having guided Simon Harrison to the 2001 Production Class Championship with his own HTML team, running a pair of Peugeot 306s.

Jonathan said: “It’s great to be back in the British Touring Car Championship with such an exciting new challenge. There is a great team spirit within SEAT Sport UK and I’m really looking forward to the season ahead.”

While this will be the first time Jonathan has worked with Jason, he knows the former champion’s SEAT Sport UK team-mate well, having run a Pontiac Grand Prix car for Darren Turner in 2002. In that season, Darren won six ASCAR races at Rockingham, including a sensational last to first victory. Jonathan continued to run in ASCAR for the next three years, before going into motorsport management and consultancy in 2005. He also runs his own performance sports car dealership, Bahn Stormers Ltd, in Cirencester.
