The Black Falcon watch
2016 is a very special year for Black Falcon – an anniversary we want to celebrate in our own special way. For 10 years we, as a team, have been fighting tirelessly against the clock with heart, soul and passion. Lap after lap and year after year. We’ve always given it everything we’ve got and achieved very much together. Our passion for motorsports and our ambition are the drive that always makes us strive for new goals.

In the Spanish Ascari Race Resort the team carried out a two-day test, as a prelude to the "endless summer". In this context, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS built for the Porsche Sports Cup made its debut.
