Congratulations to a fantastic team:
In the CUP2 class, the ZIMMERMANN - BLACK FALCON Team were locked in a thrilling and unique battle for class victory right up to the very end of the season finale, a race that also decided the championship. After a truly nail-biting finale, Alexander Hardt, Benjamin Hites and Benjamin Koslowski crossed the finish line in the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup #900 just 0.284 seconds behind their title rivals, however, the latter were handed a 30-second time penalty, meaning that the ZIMMERMANN - BLACK FALCON Team was awarded the class victory and, with it, the championship in the CUP2 class of the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring (PETN). However, due to a protest lodged by a competitor against the time penalty imposed by race control, the result remains provisional at the time of this press release. In the overall class standings for the day, Hardt, Hites and Koslowski secured an impressive eighth place overall, which once again highlights their strong pace during the race. Koslowski can also celebrate winning the 2026 NLS Junior Trophy as the best young driver.
