Black Falcon at the 24h race in Dubai
One thing’s certain even before the 24-hour race in Dubai: Motorsports history will be written in the desert state between 13 and 16 January 2016. As the first customer team ever, Black Falcon will take part in the desert race with two new AMG GT3s. The vehicle was previously used exclusively by AMG itself – in addition to two races in the VLN, a 30-hour duration test was also on the agenda.
As was the case last year, the two AMG GT3s will be driven by a mixture of professional and strong amateur drivers. Furthermore, Black Falcon also plans to race an SLS AMG GT3 with equally strong drivers.

Sean Edwards Foundation: Progress on safety and a party to celebrate
As many already know, supporting the Sean Edwards Foundation is a matter of the heart for us. The loss of our teammate hit us all very hard and we should always bear in mind that motorsports also has a dangerous side. The evolution of safety in motorsports is therefore also an important part of our work and we are delighted that the work of the Foundation, including the "Sean Edwards Test", is making great progress.

At the 9th round of the VLN endurance championship Black Falcon was able to achieve the second overall victory within just six weeks. In addition, the drivers of the SLS AMG GT3 with the starting number 2, Hubert Haupt, Yelmer Buurman, Adam Christodoulou and Manuel Metzger, were able to achieve another special feat: With pole position in training, the fastest race lap and the overall victory they were able to win everything there was to win at the event. For the VLN champion of the 2011 season Manuel Metzger it was the first VLN overall victory, while Haupt, Buurman and Christodoulou were already able to win the VLN 6h race in early September.

Superior performance with overall victory and several class wins.
For the highlight of the VLN Endurance Championship, the six-hour race at the Nürburgring, the Black Falcon team presented itself in a convincing winning mood: Overall victory, three class victories and a second and third place – that’s the impressive overall record for the 7th VLN race. Thus the team from Meuspath can also add its first overall victory in a 6-hour race to its already extensive winning record. The fact that this performance was possible in the longest and most demanding race of the VLN season makes it all the more sweet.
