As a long-term partner of Dorna and title sponsor of the event, we are pleased to honor Miguel for his victory with the new BMW M4. He still has to wait a little while before he can get in - because the car is so new that it is not yet on the market. However, we are already convinced that he will have a lot of fun with it, as the first test drive shortly after the race showed."
