Falken is expanding its motorsport involvement in the ADAC Nürburgring endurance series and is supporting the BILSTEIN racing team from this season. Jimmy Broadbent, Steve Alvarez Brown and Misha Charoudin, all high-profile influencers in the sim racing and motorsport scene, will take turns at the wheel.
The trio have set themselves ambitious goals for the coming season, first and foremost to take part in the legendary 24-hour race at the Nürburgring. The BILSTEIN racing team will start with a BMW M4 GT4 with around 550 hp, which has been perfectly prepared to the Falken tires on BILSTEIN's 7-post test bench.
The upcoming races, including the first two NLS races and the qualifying race for the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring, promise exciting action and are a foretaste of the big highlight of the season.
Falken is reinforcing its position as a sporty, multi-segment tyre brand at THE TIRE COLOGNE 2026. The exhibition presence addresses the passenger car, off-road and commercial vehicle sectors alike, with a strong focus on the design of technical performance characteristics for use under realistic operating conditions.
Despite a strong performance, Falken Motorsports did not have the necessary racing luck at this year’s ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring. After an impressive comeback, the Japanese tyre manufacturer’s team was forced to end the race prematurely in the first half following an unfortunate accident. Up until that point, Klaus Bachler, Morris Schuring, Sven Müller, and Tim Heinemann had been battling for top positions in front of more than 350,000 spectators along the Nordschleife, steadily working their way up the field with consistently fast lap times.
The tyre brand Falken, which belongs to Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH has been selected as one of three finalists for the inaugural Service Award. Presented by the Federal Association of Tyre Retailers and Tyre Repairers (BRV, Bonn), this new award recognises those in the tyre industry who, from the retail sector’s perspective in the passenger car/light commercial vehicle tyre segment, stand out for exceptional service and a trust-based partnership.
