First title of the season for BLACK FALCON

Hits: 37

The BLACK FALCON Team ZIMMERMANN celebrated a championship title in its very first year at the 57th ADAC Barbarossa Prize at the Nürburgring: The crew carrying start number #900 was crowned “PRO/AM Champion 2025” ahead of schedule in the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring Cup 2 (PETN). A class victory for the second BLACK FALCON Team ZIMMERMANN car ensured a perfect team result. The two other cars fielded by BLACK FALCON also finished in good positions, ensuring a 100% finish rate in the penultimate race of the 2025 NLS season.

With one race to go before the end of the season, drivers Alexander Hardt, Peter Ludwig, and Maik Rosenberg secured the first championship title for BLACK FALCON in the 2025 season with their Porsche 992 GT3 Cup. This was preceded by their third PRO/AM victory of the current season and the simultaneous disqualification of their direct rival in the title race, putting the trio in an uncatchable lead in the PRO/AM standings of the PETN Cup 2 class.

At the same time, their BLACK FALCON Team Zimmermann teammates David Barst, Anton Ruf, and Axel Sartingen drove to their fourth class victory of the current season. After 26 laps, the #70 Cayman GT4 RS crossed the finish line in first place in the SP7 class, adding to the team's celebrations.

After two class victories in the previous two races, Tobias Müller, Carlos Rivas, and Noah Nagelsdiek finished second in the PETN Cup 2 class with their Porsche 992 GT3 Cup #948 in the ninth round of the NLS. The trio thus maintained their chance of winning the PRO title, but the team can no longer make up their 9.5-point deficit behind the leaders on their own at the NLS finale on October 11. Only a class victory combined with a maximum of sixth place for the competition can turn the tide. Nevertheless, the trio's performance is absolutely impressive: no retirements in the current season and never worse than second place, plus the class victory in the 24-hour race – that is their remarkable record so far.

The AV Racing by BLACK FALCON team entered a Porsche 992 GT3 Cup for the first time ever carrying start number 902. The successful drivers Ryan Harrison, Alexandru Vasilescu, and Leon Wassertheurer had already recorded several class victories as well as victory in the Nürburgring 24-hour race – each time in a BMW M4 GT4 Evo. The guest start in the highly competitive PETN CUP2 class served as a decision-making opportunity and preparation for the 2026 season for the trio. It was a successful class debut for the three drivers, who gained valuable experience.
