# 2006 SEAT Cupra Championship

The 2006 Blaupunkt SEAT Cupra Championship season was the fourth season of the SEAT Cupra Championship.

The championship was dominated by the previous season's runner-up Mat Jackson, who won eleven of the eighteen rounds. He would use the £100,000 prize for winning the championship to purchase the ex-Andy Priaulx World Touring Car Championship-winning BMW 320si for the 2007 British Touring Car Championship season. Alan Blencowe was second with 225 points, with Jonathan Adam in third with 218 points, Fulvio Mussi in fourth with 169 points and Ben Winrow in fifth with 166 points.
