Bio:
A driver at heart, he is the son of legendary Aurun rally driver Töru Kaukanna. Trained by his father, he started out with karting at the age of 8. With his father's motivation, he rose up the ranks of the local karting scene and eventually competing in the Junior's Karting Championship. He won the championship which led him to be recruited by Viska Racing, an in-house tuning and racing team of Schkeska Motors and VSK Motors. At the age of 15, he competed in the 2003 Formula Auruna season but an accident at the fifth race of the season left him unable to continue the season. He took a year off to recover and returned to racing in 2005, still with Viska but now a part of their Junior Masters programme. His return is a successful one, winning 14 of 16 races in the 2005 Formula Auruna season, winning the championship. He proved to be better than before.
Miko chose to drive for Schkeska's rally team from 2006 to 2012, with his father as his co-driver. Then in 2013, he was chosen to drive to Viska at the Auvotörennä Mestänna Auruna (AtMA), a touring car series, until 2018. He's one of the best Aurun drivers, even making underperforming cars into race winners. From karting to open-wheeled to rally then to touring cars, where next? Back to open-wheeled with the WGP2. Competing at the age of 23, he may pull off a few surprises on and off-track. His skill definitely got him to the top.
He is not that aggressive but he is great at out-braking his competitors at corners. With his extensive knowledge of cars, his car setups are always flawless in his terms. Although he is a team player, he always tries to come out on top of his competition and even his team mates. He will find a way to win a race, even with unusual strategies and setups, he will push everything to the limits.

Bio:
A racing team of two Aurun automotive companies, Schkeska Motors and VSK, dating back to 1964, the two joined forces to dominate racing for Auruna with each specializing in specific parts. Schkeska for the engines and chassis, VSK for the aerodynamics (VSK is an Aurun aerospace and defense company which decided to dive into the automotive industry). Successful in other series, both international and domestic, Viska is one of the top Aurun racing teams and is backed by the government-owned MNA. Focused on reliability and cornering, they can push harder on track without encountering any reliability issues which are rare. Although not one of the fastest, they make sure to catch their competitors at the corners and get ahead of them before the exit.
It's time for them to compete in WGP2 and expectations are high for the top Aurun racing team as this is their third time competing in an international series. They can manage with such competitive field, and expect to finish atleast 6th in the Constructors' Championship.
