Intercontinental GT Challenge – 12H Bathurst 2019: Race Report

Maximum attack was the mission of Team BLACK FALCON in the 2019 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hours, as they returned to Mount Panorama, Australia’s legendary racing circuit.

24H Series – 24H Dubai 2019: Race Report

Team BLACK FALCON has completed the opening event of 2019, the Hankook 24H Dubai, with one of their pair of Mercedes-AMG GT3 entries coming home 15th after a challenging but exciting race. The team were unlucky with some Code 60 safety periods early in the race, with both BLACK FALCON AMG entries losing out at times, but the drivers fought back and both AMG would take turns leading the race overall during the depth of the night. Unfortunately, subsequent unconnected technical issues hit both cars and caused long visits to the pit garage; one AMG was forced to retire, but the second car returned to the fray and battled right to the end, eventually completing 579 laps after a tough 24 hours.
