“Why do we race?” Why do we risk everything to chase victory? What tempts us back to the Nürburgring year after year, hoping for our moment in history? Our latest film, ‘Why We Race’ – shot during the 52nd edition of the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring – seeks to answer these very questions.
In our latest film, ‘Why We Race’ we invite you to witness the relentless pursuit, the unwavering dedication and the spirit of endurance that defines us. Our partners, Max Kruse Racing and Team Bilstein by Black FALCON, also make special guest appearances in our latest movie.
This year we made history. Not through glory, nor through struggles. We made history because 2024 delivered the shortest race in the event’s history. Even so, we shot hours of raw footage before, during and after the race – exploring why each of us do what we do at the legendary Nordschleife.
In front of 240,000 fans, the omens were good. We’d already claimed three victories in the preparatory races of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) and the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifier – and the teal-and-blue Porsche was considered one of the favorites for overall victory.
But it was the weather which stole the show – quite literally.
So, returning to the question – why do we race? In times of success, it’s an easy thing to answer. In times of heartbreak, much harder. But through it all – for drivers, teams, volunteers and fans – the passion runs through our veins.
"At the heart of repetition lies the promise of perfection." This is why we race. This is why we endure.

This year Falken Tyre Europe GmbH is continuing its commitment to local institutions in Offenbach and is donating almost 6,000 euros in total. The donations will benefit four important initiatives that are actively involved in the areas of sport, social affairs and education and make an invaluable contribution to the community in the city of Offenbach.
Tyres for electric and hybrid vehicles have to satisfy special requirements: they should offer low rolling resistance, guarantee optimum traction on all surfaces and be able handle heavy loads at the same time. The Falken tyres meet these requirements. Since May 2023 and November 2023, Falken Tyre Europe has been supplying its e. ZIEX AO model in the 235/65R18 H XL and 255/60R18 H XL sizes to the Audi plant in Ingolstadt, where the successful AUDI Q6 e-tron is currently leaving the production lines.
Falken Tyre Europe GmbH will be making changes to its management team for January 2025: Thomas Langer will be taking over as Sales Director Germany Replacement at Falken. Thomas Langer began his career at Falken in 2010 as a sales representative for the region of Bavaria and Saxony/Thuringia and has been responsible for southern Germany as regional sales manager since 2018.
