BLACK FALCON starts again in the ADAC GT4 Germany with Porsche
After a successful premiere last year, the BLACK FALCON Team TEXTAR will also compete in all races of the ADAC GT4 Germany in the 2022 season. For the new season, the team from Meuspath is changing the equipment and this year will be launching a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport, the most spectacular expansion stage of the proven Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport to date.
The brand new "RS" model relies on the 4-litre engine from the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup and a 7-speed gearbox, making it significantly more powerful than its predecessor. The GT4 RS will be driven by BLACK FALCON GT4 Germany regular drivers Axel Sartingen and Daniel Schwerfeld. The experienced duo will once again compete in the "Trophy classification", a class for drivers who have reached the age of 35 and have been classified by the FIA in the "Bronze" category. Sartingen and Schwerfeld are entering the new season with great ambitions after a successful debut season. After a few podium finishes and fourth place in the championship last year, they are aiming for their first class victory this season as well as the jump into the top 3 of the Trophy classification.
Timo Frings, Vice President Motorsport BLACK FALCON:
"After many successes with GT4 cars in endurance racing, we competed in a pure GT4 racing series for the first time last season. With Axel and Daniel, we celebrated some podium finishes in the Trophy classification and constantly improved. This year we have a more powerful car at our disposal, which will benefit us especially in the often close duels. Our goal for this year is the first class victory in the Trophy classification as well as a top 3 result in the championship. We are already looking forward to the season opener in Oschersleben."
About the ADAC GT4 Germany
The ADAC GT4 Germany is aimed at up-and-coming young talents and ambitious racing amateurs. Drivers who have been classified in the silver or bronze category by the FIA are eligible to start.
All races take place as part of the supporting programme of the ADAC GT Masters. Two races are held per weekend over the distance of one hour. In each of the races, both drivers are used, who replace each other at the wheel during the prescribed mandatory pit stop in the middle of the race.
A system of vehicle classification (so-called Balance of Performance) ensures equal opportunities between the different vehicle concepts. Before the start of the season, a basic classification is determined, which is continuously reviewed during the season and adjusted if necessary.
Live broadcast
The races of the ADAC GT4 Germany will be broadcast live and free of charge, the details will be announced shortly by the organizer. Concrete broadcasting information will follow in the run-up to the race weekends on the social media channels of BLACK FALCON.
