At the premiere of the 12-hour race of the Nürburgring Endurance Championship (NLS), BLACK FALCON experienced a weekend with ups and downs. In the end, victory in the CUP2-AM classification and an outstanding performance in qualifying were clinched. The race, which was divided into two six-hour sections, was held over two days. On Saturday, the weather around the Nürburgring made for the most difficult conditions. Heavy rain showers alternated with dry phases, and the choice of tyres became a pure gamble at times. The second part of the race took place on Sunday in perfect conditions.
The eleventh and twelfth rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland (PCCD) at the Lausitzring held exciting moments for BLACK FALCON this weekend. Junior driver Loek Hartog once again proved his excellent form with a podium finish in the overall standings, while Sören Spreng and Carlos Rivas claimed a podium finish and important championship points in the ProAm classification.
At the home race at the Nürburgring, BLACK FALCON celebrated numerous achievements in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland (PCCD) and in the ADAC GT4 Germany. Carrera Cup youngster Loek Hartog finished on the podium in third place on Sunday after fourth place in Saturday's race. Team-mate Carlos Rivas won both races in the PCCD ProAm classification after a dominant performance throughout the weekend. ProAm teammate Sören Spreng was also on the ProAm podium on Saturday with second place in class, securing BLACK FALCON's second ProAm one-two of the year. In addition, Axel Sartingen and Daniel Schwerfeld celebrated their long-awaited first win of the season in the ADAC GT4 Germany Trophy classification on Saturday.

The 6-hour race of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) was an emotional rollercoaster for BLACK FALCON. While the team from Meuspath celebrated its fourth win of the season and third place in class in the AM classification of the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring (PETN, NLS class CUP2), the fight for the day's victory in the CUP2 class ended about one hour before the end of the race due to a technical defect. The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS (SP10 class) also failed to finish for the first time this season.
Last weekend, BLACK FALCON undertook an elaborate large-scale operation: the team from Meuspath competed with a total of eight cars in three racing series. Four cars were entered in the fourth round of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) on the Nordschleife. All vehicles finished on the podium in their class, two of them were victorious. At the Dutch North Sea coast, BLACK FALCON competed with three cars in the seventh and eighth rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland and achieved two podium finishes in the ProAm classification. At the third race weekend of the ADAC GT4 Germany, the team secured a visit to the podium in the Trophy classification with the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS.
