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.
BLACK FALCON celebrated several podium finishes at the fifth and sixth round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland (PCCD) in Imola. Junior driver Loek Hartog achieved the best result of the season so far for BLACK FALCON on Sunday with second overall. Carlos Rivas was unbeatable in the ProAm classification and crossed the finish line in first place in class on both days.
The ADAC 24h Race Nürburgring was probably one of the most dramatic events for BLACK FALCON in recent years. At the anniversary edition of the endurance classic at the Nürburgring, the team from Meuspath achieved second place in the CUP2 class and an excellent 16th place overall with the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup #123 in front of 230,000 spectators. In addition, the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS #85 crossed the finish line in sixth place in the SP10 class despite two repair stops. The two 992 Cup with the starting numbers #121 and #122 did not finish after accidents.
