Falken Motorsports Announces Lineups for N24, NLS

Porsche squad Falken Motorsports has announced its driver lineups for this year’s Nürburgring 24 as well as the NLS.

All seven drivers who were part of the two-car Schnabl Engineering-run team for last year’s N24 return for the 2024 campaign alongside new addition Julien Andlauer, who returns to Falken for the first time since 2022.

Andlauer joins Klaus Bachler, Sven Muller and Alessio Picariello in the No. 3 Porsche 911 GT3 R (numbered No. 33 for the N24), while the No. 4 car (No. 44 for the N24) is shared by Joel Eriksson, Tim Heinemann, Nico Menzel and Martin Ragginger as per last year.

Eriksson scored Falken’s only win of the season alongside David Pittard in NLS5, helping the team to third in the overall teams’ standings.

Falken announced last month its plans to contest the VLN-run NLS, which is one of two series set to be held on the Nordschleife this year alongside the new Nürburgring Endurance Series (NES) amid a split between the VLN and circuit owner NR Holding.

It will mark its second season using the current 992-spec Porsche 911 GT3 R, and its 14th as a customer of the Stuttgart manufacturer.

The NLS season-opening double-header is scheduled to take place on April 6-7, with the N24 slated for June 1-2.
