About Mikel
After just three seasons in the series, 25-year-old Spaniard Mikel has established himself as one of the undisputed stars of WTCR. He began his racing career in the Renault Clio Cup Spain before moving up to the Renault Clio Eurocup, finishing second in the championship aged 18. Mikel was a runner-up again in the 2016 SEAT Leon Eurocup and the 2017 Audi Sport TT Cup. However in 2018 he claimed his first ever title, winning the TCR Europe Touring Car Series. This impressive performance saw him achieve a drive at the pinnacle of touring car racing for the 2019 season. Over his three years in WTCR, the Spaniard has taken three victories – one in each season – and 12 podiums. In 2021, he competed once again in the TCR Europe Touring Car Series alongside his WTCR commitments and emphatically secured his second drivers’ title. Mikel also competed in the inaugural season of PURE ETCR, and was the only driver to win the King of the Weekend crown twice (Vallelunga and Hungaroring). Mikel will join Norbert to complete our 2022 Customer Racing line-up in WTCR.
