Full throttle through the “Grüne Hölle” - this is a new motto of GetSpeed. The exclusive RaceTaxi for the Nürburgring Nordschleife will be blue and turquoise in future - a clear signal for the new partnership with tyre brand Falken.
"The cooperation with Falken is a great enrichment for our RaceTaxi," says team boss Adam Osieka. "In the races in the Green Hell, the two Falken Porsches are strong opponents for our Mercedes-AMG GT3s. Away from the competition, we are now making common cause. Falken enjoys an excellent reputation among the Nürburgring fan community, as does our RaceTaxi. In future, we will combine these emotions to offer our customers an unforgettable experience."
"Falken has been part of the Nürburgring for decades and has expanded its presence in the Eifel year after year. So joining forces with GetSpeed was only the next logical step for us. GetSpeed stands for passion, professionalism and speed at the Ring and therefore fits perfectly with Falken's DNA and our own values. The partnership underlines our strong position at the Ring and the confidence in our products," says Dennis Wilstermann, Supervisor Marketing at Falken Tyre Europe GmbH.
The legendary GetSpeed RaceTaxi has long since become an institution at the Nürburgring. The slogan 'Under8' is the programme. At racing speed, it goes over the 20.832-kilometre asphalt ribbon that winds so unmistakably through the hilly Eifel landscape. Legends were born on the unique Nordschleife. GetSpeed has also made its mark in the history books of the Eifel circuit. In 2022, the racing team around Adam Osieka celebrated one of the greatest successes in its team history with second and third places in the 24h race.
As is the case every year, readers await the results of the AUTO BILD tyre test with great anticipation. The AUTO BILD magazine has once again this year taken a close look at various tyres in differing dimensions and models, revealing which tyre actually delivers on its promises. The latest summer tyre test looked at more than 50 summer tyres in the dimension 225/40 R18, including the Falken ZIEX ZE320.
Falken Tyre Europe GmbH's summer promotion is taking place in 17 countries this year. Customers who purchase a set of Falken summer or all-season tires (four from 16 inches, excluding truck tires) between March 15 and May 31, 2025, will receive a fuel voucher. Participants also have the chance to win other attractive prizes, including a short holiday at a Center Parcs location of their choice for up to six people.
Falken Motorsports is starting the 2025 season with fresh vigour and drawing on a strong combination of experience and new talent. With three new additions to the driver line-up and the tried-and-tested turquoise-blue Porsche 911 GT3 R (992), the team is once again taking on the challenge of the legendary Nürburgring-Nordschleife with a brace of the race-winning car. After a total of five overall victories and several podium finishes, Falken Motorsports snatched the prestigious NLS Speed Trophy last year. The goal for 2025 is clear: to fight for top positions again especially at the 24-hour race.
