Hugo Valente’s World Touring Car Championship programme in a second Campos SEAT Leon will begin in rounds seven and eight at the Hungaroring on May 4-5.
The 20-year-old Frenchman raced for the team in last year’s Shanghai WTCC rounds, taking 16th and 18th place finishes.
The same year he also finished runner-up in the French SEAT Leon Supercopa.
Campos is already running Fernando Monje in 2013, while sister outfit Tuenti Racing is running Marrakech victor – and now the WTCC’s youngest winner – Pepe Oriola.
Valente, who is set for further outings for the team, says he is eager to see how he matches up against both men.
“I’m very much looking forward to get to know the series more in Budapest, as well as in five other events this year,” he said.
“My goal is to gain as much experience as I can, with the car, tyres and circuits, in order to prepare for the 2014 season in the best possible way.
“I only had two testing days before Budapest, so I am expecting tough races over there. But my goal is to improve compared to my team-mates Pepe Oriola and Fernando Monje.”
