BLACK FALCON brings a great line up to the third round of the VLN long distance championship at the Nürburgring this Saturday: A total of five cars from Mercedes-AMG and Porsche are going to tackle the first Nordschleife race for the team from Meuspath after the 24h race back in May. As known from the first two rounds of VLN two BLACK FALCON cars will be equipped with onboard cameras and broadcast live from the cockpit on Youtube and the official VLN live stream.

Four out of five cars are racing under the banner of BLACK FALCON Team TMD Friction. The fastest entered car, the Porsche 991 GT3 Cup MR II number 57, is going to start in class SP7. Jürgen Bleul, Manuel Metzger and “Takis” take turns at the steeringwheel of the widebody Porsche while taking the spectators around the Nordschleife via live stream. In class SP10 that features GT4-spec cars BLACK FALCON enters two Mercedes-AMG GT4. The anthracite car number 162 is shared by Alexander Kolb, Axel König and Norbert Schneider. For the 24h class winners (class V6) König and Schneider it’s the first race in an AMG GT4 on the Nordschleife. Another AMG GT4 is entered under the banner of BLACK FALCON Team IDENTICA. The SP10 winning car of the 24h race will be driven by Stefan Karg and Fidel Leib who have been part of the winning crew five weeks ago. Moritz Oberheim completes the three driver line-up of number 163, that will feature the second Onboard camera.

In the production class category BLACK FALCON Team TMD Friction enters two Porsche in class V6. Thomas Bolz, Christoph Hoffmann and Uwe Lebens share the Porsche 991 Carrera number 395. No 396 Porsche Cayman S will be driven by Alexander Akimenkov and Vasilii Selivanov.

BLACK FALCON celebrated multiple achievements at the second race weekend of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at the Red Bull Ring. Tim Zimmermann was the best Rookie-driver of the weekend scoring his first victory in the junior cup as well as a third place. Sören Spreng achieved his first Carrera Cup podium result in the Amateur cup on Saturday. The team from Meuspath experienced a rollercoaster of emotions in two eventful and exciting races.

BLACK FALCON’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 have scored a pair of class podiums at the third round of the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. Held over a grueling 1,000km distance, twice the normal race length for the season, the team’s Silver Cup, and Pro-Am entries both delivered excellent results in a dramatic race that has further improved their respective championship positions.

BLACK FALCON’s Mercedes-AMG GT3 will be racing deep into the night in the south of France this weekend, as they take part in a specially extended endurance marathon at the stunning Paul Ricard circuit. The third round of the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup takes up the classic 1000km distance used in so many legendary sportscar races, almost twice the normal three-hour length typically used in the championship. The event, hosted by the home of this year’s Formula 1 French Grand Prix, will also serve as the perfect warm-up for July’s season highlight: the 24 Hours of Spa.
