Falken Motorsports has won both qualifying races for the Nürburgring 24 Hours with the Porsche 911 GT3 R. The four-hour races are considered the most important preparation for the prestigious endurance classic on the storied racetrack.
With a strong effort from its teams, Porsche won the 24 Hours of Spa. The GPX Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R crewed by the current FIA WEC Sportscar World Champions Kévin Estre, Michael Christensen, and Austria’s Richard Lietz finished first at the Belgian long distance classic after 363 laps, securing Porsche the seventh overall success from the world’s most important GT3 event.
The weather played a major role at the start of the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps. Because of the heavy rain, the endurance classic started behind the safety car and was given the green light after three laps.
