“Can you hear expectations?” The Nürburgring 24 Hours doesn’t hand out victories easily. It pushes you, punishes you and makes you wait, yet expectations remain. For 25 seasons, Falken Motorsports has arrived at the Nordschleife with the same goal: to win.
Our latest film, ‘Expectations’ – the 16th produced by motionctrl and Falken – tells the story of Falken’s weekend of high hopes, setbacks and unfinished business. It also focuses on Falken’s world-class drivers and the pressures they must withstand over the gruelling 24-hour period.
Shot during the 53rd edition of the Nürburgring 24 Hours, in Falken’s garages and across the legendary circuit’s many twists and turns, the film uncovers the determination of a team that refuses to stop chasing the dream.
Two separate film crews collected 18 hours of raw footage over the race weekend – multiple terabytes of data. Again Falken was given exclusive access to the Nordschleife for filming purposes, allowing the film crews to capture some truly cinematic shots.
Falken left its mark. The team remains more committed than ever before. “Expectations don’t fade. They’ll wait here next year. And that’s fine. Because so are we.”

Falken Motorsports continues to be plagued by bad luck in the 2026 season of the ADAC RAVENOL Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS). At the 1st ADAC Eifel Trophy, the sixth race of the season on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, the teal-and-blue No. 44 Porsche 911 GT3 R had to be retired shortly before the end of the race despite a convincing performance. Klaus Bachler and Tim Heinemann had been running in third place overall up to that point and were well on their way to a well-deserved podium finish.
FALKEN takes first place in the BRV Service Award: German Tyre Retail and Vulcanisation Trade Association (BRV) announced tyre brand FALKEN, part of Dunlop Tyre Europe GmbH, as the winner at the BRV General Meeting on 8 June 2026.
