Falken Motorsports will return to the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS) and the ADAC RAVENOL 24h Nürburgring in 2026, continuing its long-standing commitment to endurance racing on the Nordschleife.

The team will once again field its teal-and-blue Porsche 911 GT3 R with start number 44. Falken aims to build on a dominant 2025 season in which it secured five NLS victories, four one-two finishes, 12 podiums, two pole positions and the NLS Speed Trophy.

The driver lineup will feature Klaus Bachler, Morris Schuring, Sven Müller and Tim Heinemann, combining Nordschleife experience with proven GT3 pace. The car will run the latest 2026-spec 911 GT3 R and Falken’s own racing tyres equipped with the SENSING CORE monitoring technology.

Familiar faces in star line-up

DTM rookie champion Schuring returns to The Green Hell behind the wheel of the #44 Falken Porsche, as he competed during the 24 hour race in 2025 with them as well.

Müller and Heinemann are also familiar faces: Heinemann shared the Porsche 911 GT3 R with Schuring in 2025, while Müller competed with the sister car with Julian Andlauer, Nico Menzel and Alessio Picariello that year.

Alongside its main entry, Falken will continue its partnership with Max Kruse Racing and remains a key partner of the Nürburgring 24-hour race through 2028.
