The SUNRED SEAT team is to add triple French touring car champion Eric Cayrolle to its line-up for this weekend's Pau rounds of the World Touring Car Championship.

Cayrolle dominated the French super touring scene in the late 1990s, but has mostly raced in sportscars in recent years.

The 46-year-old joins Tom Coronel and Tom Boardman, the latter returning after missing Marrakech, at SUNRED for the event.

SUNRED is the second WTCC team to add a local driver for Pau, with the Wiechers Sport BMW squad having already signed Laurent Cazenave for a one-off.
