The young German and Spanish driver will race in the three first meetings of the Michelin Le Mans Cup with a Norma M30 LMP3. The second meeting will take part at the mythic circuit of “La Sarthe” together with the 24H of Le Mans.
Last minute call has given the opportunity for Alex Toril to drive a prototype car, the Norma M30 LMP3 from the Luxemburger Team DKR Engineering and race the three first races of the Michelin Le Mans Cup, the support championship of the European Le Mans Series and WEC. The three events will take place in Monza, Le Mans and Red Bull Ring.
Le Mans is the most important event of this program, mostly known as “Road to Le Mans” which is a race that takes place during the 24H of Le Mans and allow young drivers, like Alex, make their first steps to race in the future at the main event.
The Michelin Le Mans Cup is a championship where cars of the categories LMP3 and GT3 are racing together and where the teams are composed by two drivers, one bronze and one Gold or Silver. Alex (silver) will share the cockpit with an old adversary from Porsche Supercup, the Belgian driver Jean Glorieux.The races have a duration of 2 hours with a mandatory pit-stop for driver change, tyres and refuel.
In the meeting of “Road to Le Mans” two races of 55min with driver change will take place. The second race will be held at 11:30 am on Saturday 17th of June just before the start of the 24H Le Mans.
“I’m really excited with this project, it’s almost a dream come true, being able to be inside the 24H Le Mans and race at the same time, during the same weekend is something difficult to describe. On the other side, the Norma M30 LMP3 is a great car, I feel really confortable and fast with it while driving, as well as the emotion I can feel when I’m behind the steering wheel. I have a really good team-mate and team, I’m sure we can fight for good results” that was the statement of the young Toril where he show his motivation and preparation towards this new project.
