Miguel Toril obtains third position of the SP8T category in the penultimate appointment of the 2019 VLN Series.

With a reasonably stable weather for this time of year in the Nürburgring, again aboard a Mercedes-AMG GT4 of the SP8T category of #155 Team Black Falcon and sharing the vehicle with two new drivers -the Germans Tobias Wahl and Christoph Hoffmann- , the driver ambassador of the brand Cruz achieved the best time in the category during qualifying practice.

After starting from the "Pole Position", the team #155 suffered some difficulties that relieved them down to 7th position of the category, away from the podium positions. Thanks to a progressive comeback and the good performance of Toril in the last stint of race, Miguel managed to cross the finish line after 4 hours of racing in the third position among the SP8T and 28th overall.

Miguel Toril: “A shame that I could not materialize the Pole in victory, however I am glad that I was able to finish once again on the podium. I thank the team and my colleagues for the work done; It is always a pleasure to compete on the Nordschleife”.
