Falken Simracing Team ready for season six of the 2024/2025 Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series

Falken is set to return to the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series (DNLS), the virtual counterpart to the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). The sixth season of the digital Nordschleife championship, featuring four races in total, kicks off on 21st December 2024 at 1pm.

Just like the NLS, the DNLS delivers thrilling motorsport action at the ‘Green Hell’—albeit virtually. Over 100 drivers across various classes will battle it out on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife for championship titles and an attractive prize fund. With a live stream available on YouTube, the DNLS offers an extensive media exposure for fans to watch all the action.

The Falken Simracing Team will compete in the SP10 class with a BMW M4 GT4, driven by Lucas Müller and Benedikt Hitz. In the fiercely-contested SP9 GT3 class, Falken, just as in the NLS, will field the proven Porsche 911 GT3 R (992). Liam Willmann and Benny Leuchter, the latter who usually competes in a Falken-shod VW Golf GTI in the NLS for Max Kruse Racing, will share driving duties.

This season the line-up will expand further thanks to a collaboration between Falken and Team Nitro. Falken is supporting Nitro Concepts' official works team by providing its own factory driver Tim Heinemann. Heinemann, together with Marco Bischoff, also known as ‘Mabix’, will compete in the SP9 class in a co-branded Porsche 911 GT3 R.

A few years ago we ventured into eSports - initially as a sponsor in iRacing and shortly after that, by establishing our own official Falken team,” says Dennis Wilstermann, Assistant Marketing Manager at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH. " This season we are proud to once again be part of the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series. I am especially pleased that in addition to our own team, we are also supporting Team Nitro. Together, we are making a strong commitment to supporting sim racing."

Lucas Müller, Team Principal at Falken Simracing Team, adds: "The Green Hell and Falken Tyres simply belong together. That’s why we are extremely proud to represent these iconic colours for the second consecutive year at the most beautiful and challenging circuit in the world. We are looking forward to competing for podium finishes and even victories with our experienced driver line-up."
