The fourth event of the VLN Series will be take place on July 8th and after several months of absence in this championship, Miguel Toril will return being part of this contest with two important news. Firstly, as a driver of a new squad, Team BASTUCK, and secondly, to be part of the development of a new vehicle, the KIA cee’d GT/R. Next to Miguel, will compete the Austrian driver Bernhard Wagner.

It will be the first time for the German team to enter the aforementioned KIA in an endurance race, having already disputed several sprint appointments. In addition, it will represent the first competition of the brand KIA in the famous and historical racetrack of the Nordschleife.

Miguel Toril: "I am very grateful to Team BASTUCK for this opportunity to be part of the development process of a vehicle such as the KIA cee'd GT/R. I hope my experience will be useful for the team. Also, I can not seem less eager to drive agan on the Nordschleife”.
