October, 9th, 2024 - Falken Motorsports enters the final phase of the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) with the 55th Adenauer ADAC Rundstrecken-Trophy. After the retirement of both Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) at the last race due to weather conditions, the team is once again aiming for overall victory. The Falken Drift Team will also be offering spectacular taxi rides in the paddock.
Drivers Alessio Picariello and Klaus Bachler in the number 3 car and Joel Eriksson and Tim Heinemann in the number 4 car are highly motivated to make up for their disappointing retirement in the last race. Both cars had to retire early in heavy rain, but the team's record this season is still impressive: four overall victories - two in the NLS and two in the ADAC 24h Qualifiers - underline the performance of the team and their high-performance tires. A fifth victory would be the crowning glory of a successful season on the legendary Nordschleife.
In addition to its sporting ambitions, Falken is also demonstrating its social commitment: as part of the event, spectators can do something good by taking a ride with the Falken Motorsports drift professionals. The proceeds from the tickets sold will go entirely into the donation pot, which will benefit those injured in the explosion in the paddock at the last NLS race.
The race over a distance of four hours starts on Saturday, October 19, at 12 noon. Qualifying starts at 8:30 am, followed by a pit walk at 10:20 am and access to the starting grid at 11:10 am.
Falken will once again be presenting a wide range of products at the AutoZum 2025 trade fair in Salzburg, Austria, which will be taking place from 22-25 January 2025. Various products from the full range of Falken tyres will be on show. A total of twelve tyres will be presented, including summer, all-season and winter tyres, in addition to all-terrain and truck tyres.
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.
