Matias Henkola contracted with Walkenhorst Motorsport for remainder of the VLN season NÜRBURGRING -- After a couple weeks of vacation, Matias Henkola returns to the race track for the remainder of the VLN season at the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Armed with Walkenhorst Motorsport’s number 100 Dunlop BMW M6 GT3, the Finn is eager to take on the VLN races ahead.



Feeling like there was something to make up for after a disappointing 24 Hours of the Nürburgring, Henkola signed a new contract with Walkenhorst Motorsport that will see him with the team until the end of the season.



“I had a deal with Walkenhorst up until the 24-hour race at the Nordschleife and the original plan was to move to the Blancpain GT Endurance Cup after that.



“I’m very happy that Nick Königsbauer and Henry Walkenhorst wanted me to drive the whole VLN season. It’s always good to sit in a strong car with a great driver line-up.”



“The remaining VLN races will be an excellent opportunity to show what we could have done at the big one. I think we all feel like we have some unfinished business at the ‘Ring.”



Henkola returns behind the wheel of the number 100 Dunlop Walkenhorst Motorsport BMW M6 GT3 this weekend for the 48. Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy at the Nürburgring. The race, scheduled to start Saturday at 12:00 CET, can be watched live via www.vln.de.
