Falken Tire VLN Nurburgring Round 4

VLN Nurburgring Falken

Video after the jump!

We are a few days out from this years 39th running of the 24 Hour Nurburgring race. Falken Motorsports Europe has posted another excellent video. For those not familiar with the teams, there is one based out of California and the team running in Europe that is based out of Japan. This is also a GT3 R vs the RSR in the ALMS.

A dramatic tone and buildup to the race, give this video a great vibe. There is a bit more focus on the tire aspect as well, compared the last one. Great on-board shots and pitstops as well.

Wolf Henzler, Peter Dumbreck, Martin Ragginger and Sebastian Asch will share the wheel this weekend.

The 911 GT3 R of a six-cylinder boxer with four-liter naturally aspirated engine that delivers 480 hp (353 kW) at 7,250 rpm. Over a six-speed sequential gearbox, the power goes to the rear axle. A traction control, electronically controlled clutch function and a specially engineered race-ABS make the 911 GT3 R in a highly competitive vehicle. Wheels: Front: Single-piece, forged alloy wheels (11J x 18 ET 35) and 290/660R18 tires, rear axle: 330/710R18 One-piece, forged alloy wheels (13J x 18 ET 12.5) and tires.

The Nurburgring Nordschleife is unique. With 33 left and 40 right curves of the asphalt strip meanders through the hilly landscape of the Eifel. To 20.8 km in length, this track every conceivable challenge: jumping hills, banked corners, long straights, fast passages and winding sections. Went into the long-distance championship in 2010 with nine overall victories in ten races the 911 GT3 R.
