Two overall victories, five podium finishes, and a total of eight top-10 results: Falken Motorsports can look back on extremely successful preparations for this year's ADAC Ravenol 24-hour race at the Nürburgring (June 19–22, 2025). No wonder, that the team is approaching the highlight of the season with great confidence. This year, the two teal-and-blue Porsche 911 GT3 Rs will be driven through the Green Hell by a balanced mix of experienced Nordschleife specialists, promising young talents, and proven Porsche professionals.
Falken Motorsports got off to a strong start to the season: the team celebrated an impressive one-two victory at the opening round of the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS), followed by another overall victory in the second race of the year. The team also underlined its competitiveness at the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers, the dress rehearsal for the big endurance spectacle, despite adverse conditions with heavy rain and darkness setting in. In the second race on Sunday, Alessio Picariello and Julien Andlauer drove the Falken Porsche to second place overall, putting an exclamation point on a successful preparation phase.
The Belgian-French duo will also compete together at the season's highlight. In the Porsche with start number 33, Picariello and Andlauer will share the cockpit with Nico Menzel and Sven Müller. The second Falken Porsche with the #44 will be driven by Tim Heinemann, Dorian Boccolacci, Dennis Marschall, and DTM driver Morris Schuring. The driver line-ups were specifically put together based on previous racing experience – with the clear goal of having a say in the battle for the prestigious overall victory in the 24-hour race.
Falken will also be providing action away from the race track: the Japanese tire brand will be presenting itself with a merchandise stand in the ring°boulevard and in the paddock.
Opening hours:
• Thursday & Friday: 10:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.
• Saturday: 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m.
• Sunday: 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m.
Another highlight is the popular drift show, which has been thrilling fans for years and has established itself as one of the highlights of the packed 24-hour weekend. On Friday evening (June 20), the Falken cars will kick off the spectacle at 6:00 p.m. with an exclusive drift lap on the Nordschleife. Starting at 7:30 p.m., the big event will follow in the Müllenbachschleife with more professional drifters – a must-see for all motorsport fans along the track.
The 24-hour weekend begins on Wednesday, June 18, with Racing Day in Adenau – experience motorsport up close! From 4 p.m., the market square will be transformed into a fan zone. Also there: the #33 Falken Porsche. In addition, all eight Falken drivers will be available for autographs, photos, and interviews.
