The Porsche Carrera Cup Germany’s season highlight at the Norisring saw Black Falcon take two podium positions. In the race on Saturday, Christian Engelhart claimed the third position overall. Gabriele Piana finished fifth bringing home his best result yet. Carlos Rivas claimed the second position in the amateur cup. Sunday’s race marked the beginning of the second half of the season. Again, Engelhart was the highest ranked Black Falcon driver, finishing fourth in front of 125,000 spectators. Gabriele Piana crossed the chequered flag in eighth position while Carlos Rivas crossed as fifth of the amateur cup.
Team BLACK FALCON have achieved a fantastic class victory in the Pro-Am category at the Spa 24 Hours. Having fought their way to the front by the halfway point of the race, the four-strong driver crew of the #16 Mercedes-AMG GT3 controlled the class from then on, stretching away from the opposition to win by a margin of over a lap from the second-placed car after 546 laps of racing. They finished the race in an impressive 12th position overall.
During the upcoming weekend, the season highlight of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany will take place in Nuremberg. The championship rounds seven and eight are part of the DTM race weekend at the Norisring. More than 100.000 visitors are expected for the only street circuit event of the calendar. Also, the start of the Sunday race marks the beginning of the second half of the season. As usual, Gabriele Piana (IT), Christian Engelhart (DE) and Carlos Rivas (LU) will be behind the wheels of the three Black Falcon Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars.
The third round of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany at the Red Bull Ring in Austria saw two out of three Black Falcon Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars deliver superior results. Carlos Rivas managed to catch up with the leader of the amateur cup championship thanks to two podium finishes at the 4.326-kilometer-long track. Gabriele Piana scored eight championship points during each race and delivered his best Carrera Cup result yet. Meanwhile, Christian Engelhart’s weekend was not as satisfying – he was forced to retire in both races due to collisions with competitors.
