FALKEN takes first place in the BRV Service Award: German Tyre Retail and Vulcanisation Trade Association (BRV) announced tyre brand FALKEN, part of Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH, as the winner at the BRV General Meeting on 8 June 2026. More than 250 members of the tyre trade had previously voted in an online survey for what they consider the best partner in the tyre industry.
The award honours FALKEN for its exceptional service quality and trusting, collaborative partnership. The trust expressed through this award is both recognition and motivation for the entire team:
“The news of a top ranking in the BRV Service Award was already a special honour, as it comes directly from the specialist tyre trade. We are now even more delighted to celebrate the overall victory. We would like to express our sincere thanks for this recognition. First place confirms our commitment to offering Falken partners not only reliable and safe products, but above all dependable service, personalised support and a truly partnership-based collaboration. The fact that the trade has voted the entire team’s efforts into first place motivates us to continue pursuing our goals with determination,” says Thomas Langer, Sales Director Germany at Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH, which also owns the FALKEN tyre brand.
In May, FALKEN competed in the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring for the 27th time, and today presents a new film, The Perfect Lap, showing the challenges of endurance racing in thrilling detail.

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.
