Falken Motorsports continues to be plagued by bad luck in the 2026 season of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). At the 1st ADAC Eifel Trophy, the sixth race of the season on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the teal-and-blue No. 44 Porsche 911 GT3 R had to be retired shortly before the end of the race despite a convincing performance. Klaus Bachler and Tim Heinemann had been running in third place overall up to that point and were well on their way to a well-deserved podium finish.
