BLACK FALCON Press Release 18.06.2020
After ten extremely successful years, BLACK FALCON withdraws from professional GT3 sport at the Nürburgring Nordschleife and the GT World Challenge at the start of the 2020 season.
BLACK FALCON's involvement in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland as well as in customer sport on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, however, remains unchanged.
In the future, BLACK FALCON will focus even more strongly on national and international customer sport missions with AMG, Ferrari and Porsche vehicles as well as on the support of customer-owned racing cars on the most interesting race tracks in the world.
The simracing activities of BLACK FALCON, which were started during the Corona crisis, are to be further expanded and professionalised.

ESports - DNLS Round 2 2020 - Preview
This coming Saturday, BLACK FALCON will compete in the first SimRacing race in its team history. At the second round of the DNLS (Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series) BLACK FALCON will enter three cars with a diverse mixture of real racers and SimRacing professionals. The 3-hour digital endurance race features the NLS (formerly VLN) version of the GP sprint track and Nordschleife, which is transferred to the simulation with millimetre precision using laser scanning technology. The digital appearance of the team is just as realistic as the track: BLACK FALCON starts with a Mercedes-AMG GT3, a Porsche 991 GT3 Cup and a Porsche Cayman GT4. The cars will compete in the original designs planned for 2020, so all BLACK FALCON partners will also be present on the vehicles of the digital NLS.

BLACK FALCON extends its commitment to the GT World Challenge Europe in the 2020 season (formerly known as Blancpain GT Series).

The second AMG GT3 will start in the historically strong Silver Cup class, which is reserved exclusively for drivers with FIA Silver ratings. For the first time in the BLACK FALCON team history a Silver Cup car will compete in both the Endurance and Sprint Cup.
