Falken Simracing Team competes at the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series (DNLS) in two different classes.
The Green Hell and Falken Tyres Simply Belong Together – Falken Team Principal, Lucas Müller
Falken has returned to the Digital Nürburgring Endurance Series (DNLS), the virtual counterpart to the ADAC Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). The sixth edition of the digital Nordschleife championship, featuring four races in total, kicked off on December 21st, 2024.
The DNLS delivers thrilling motorsport action, usually seen at the NLS, to the virtual world. Over 100 drivers from various classes compete at the digital version of the “Green Hell” for championship titles and an attractive prize fund. Fans worldwide can follow the competition via live stream on YouTube.
The Falken Simracing Team competes in the SP10 class with a BMW M4 GT4, driven by Lucas Müller and Benedikt Hitz. Meanwhile, in the SP9 GT3 class, just like in the NLS, Falken will field the proven Porsche 911 GT3 R (992). Liam Willmann and Benny Leuchter—the latter usually competes in a Falken-shod VW Golf GTI in the NLS for Max Kruse Racing—will share driving duties.
The team’s line-up this season has also been expanded thanks to a collaboration with Team Nitro. Falken is supporting Nitro Concepts’ official works team by providing its own factory driver, Tim Heinemann. Heinemann, together with Marco Bischoff a.k.a. “Mabix” competes 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,” said 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, added, “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.”
