Team Falken 2010 Driver Line-Up Announced

Team Falken will start its third year with Porsche Works Driver Wolf Henzler and Bryan Sellers as their appointed drivers for the 2010 race program. The two will get behind the wheel of a 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RSR in the full nine-event American Le Mans Series GT2 class.

"We're using the ALMS to compete against our competitors as well as utilize the highly organized race program as a formal testing ground for continued tire development," said Mark Richter, Falken Senior Manager of Dealer Marketing. "As we compete throughout the season, we will build upon race and test data learned from our efforts with last year's Porsche."

"We are delighted to welcome Wolf Henzler to our team, as well as have Bryan Sellers return, along with Rod Everett, our veteran team manager, who will oversee the development of our brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, the only Porsche 911 GT3 RSR race car delivered to North America this season," said Falken's Director of Marketing Andrew Hoit.

"We remain convinced that ALMS is the perfect venue to profile Falken's brand and demonstrate the company's capabilities to our customers, retailers and media, and that's why we have made the significant commitment to motorsports."

The GT3 RSR was hand-built in Porsche's Weissach Motorsports facility (Germany) and uses is the latest generation water-cooled 4.0-Liter Porsche Flat six boxer engine.

"We showed steady improvement throughout last year, and anticipate even stronger results in 2010," Richter added. "The competition will be tough, but Falken is ready for the challenge."
