Having first competed in the 24h-Race Nurburgring in 1999, Team FALKEN Motorsports will be competing in the race for the 17th time this year. The same team of drivers who won Third Place at last year's race will be gunning for the Grand Prize at the wheel of a new high-performance vehicle-a Porsche 911 GT3 R (991). At the same time, we will also be promoting our global FALKEN brand at our FALKEN Booth, which will feature displays of our latest tires in addition to a virtual reality racing simulation corner and chances to receive autographs from the race drivers, as well as other events throughout the race venue, including a show of daring feats of drifting.
Meanwhile, Falken Tyre Europe GmbH will be providing up-to-the-minute updates during the race on our official website (http://falken-europe.com/) and on Twitter and Facebook. We hope that you will join us in rooting for Team FALKEN Motorsports.

[24h-Race Nurburgring]
Taking place at the Nurburgring, which is also famous as an R&D test track for automobile and tire makers, this 24-hour endurance race is considered by many to be the world's toughest race. At 25km per lap, the race makes use of the Nurburgring's full course, combining the North Course (Old Course), which features an elevation difference of 300m between its highest and lowest points and about 170 corners (including blind corners), and the more modern Grand Prix Course, which is also used for F1 racing.
